Our View: Public art should not be pilfered
Have you seen a 9-foot metal statue of a horse and knight during the last couple of weeks? If so, you might be able to help return local pieces of art to their rightful owners.
The horse and knight statue, which was created by Batavia resident Francis Joseph Gagnepain IV, was stolen from a parkway on the west side of South Randall Road near Fargo Boulevard between Jan. 3 and 6, according to Geneva police reports.
The weight of the statue is reported to be 300 to 400 pounds. Its value is about $2,000.
