Someone Steals Humpty Dumpty Statue

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - It might take all the king's horses and all the king's men to solve this crime.

Somebody took a 200-pound, 3-foot-tall statue of Humpty Dumpty from its perch on a downtown street. The statue, valued at $20,000, was reported missing early Saturday.

"The world knows it's hot," said Dave Kosley, spokesman for the Downtown Partnership, which served as curator for an outdoor art program. "I don't see that anyone who has it would feel comfortable displaying it in their front room or backyard. It's probably in a frathouse bar."

The sculpture, by Minneapolis-based artist Kimber Feibiger, was among 19 works or art decorating downtown streets.

Kosley said Humpty, with his green-and-white-striped trousers, should have been bolted to a steel plate with three bolts, but the artist used only two.

Some people are just TOO desperate and that's just sad.

Like the stealing trash thing, this is another dream of mine. Ever since I heard that Humpty Dumpty story, I've always dreamed of stealing a 3-foot tall sculpted egg bolted down with 2 bolts in Colorado (for some reasons, my dreams are really detailed). Looks like these people got to it first, I wish them the best and I hope they have a awfully nice life with the egg.
