Missing Ohio Ballpark Statue Found at Police Department


In a Monday, Aug. 15, 2011 photo, a figure is missing from "Who's Up?" a sculpture by Emanuel Enriquez on the North St. Clair Street side of Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio. The bolts that held the missing statue are in the foreground, near the feet of the statue at left. This is a portion of the entire work. The female figure of the kids looking through fence sculpture was reported missing and later found in the police property room. It was taken there after it was found August 13, 2011, by officers 20 yards from its original location. AP Photo/The Blade, Jetta Fraser.

TOLEDO (AP).- A bronze statue of a little girl reported stolen from an Ohio minor league ballpark has been found safe, in a police property room. The Blade newspaper reports (http://bit.ly/oWjDDj ) two Toledo officers found the statue on the sidewalk early Saturday about 20 yards from its usual spot. Their report says they took it away to protect it. Sunday evening, the Toledo Mud Hens noticed the statue missing from outside Fifth Third Field and filed a theft report. The city's arts commission was relieved to learn Monday that it was not taken by scrap metal thieves. The statue is one of four in a piece depicting four life-size children trying to look through knotholes in a ballpark fence. It's not clear why it was unbolted and moved. ___ Information from: The Blade, http://www.toledoblade.com/ Copyright 2011 The Associated Press.
