Everything But The Balloon

A bronze statue of a girl holding an ice cream cone has and a balloon has been found at a San Gabriel Valley scrap yard. The $25,000 statue was nicked from a real estate company in July. Unfortunately the balloon was missing from the statue and is believed to have been already smelted. The culprit was trying to sell the statue for $180. Was it worth the trouble? Maybe he would have been better off trying to sell it as a garden ornament!
