From the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" Department -San Diego Division-
A 600-pound bronze moose stolen from a Ramona yard about six weeks ago has mysteriously returned.
Sheriff’s investigators are still looking for the thief and figure there are at least 25 other unsolved cases of statues plucked from homes and one church around San Diego County since September. The statues have a total value of up to $200,000.
“There is definitely something going on countywide,” said Ramona sheriff’s Sgt. Christina Bavencoff. “It’s a huge problem right now and it’s growing.”
A menagerie of metal, concrete and wooden animals, including the moose, a dolphin, deer, and several horses, have been stolen as well as a baby Jesus, women and children in various poses, and a Virgin Mary that was taken from St. Mary’s-In-The Valley Episcopal church in Ramona.
“A lot of these weigh a significant amount,” Bavencoff said.
