2014.08.24 - Statue of Liberty Stolen

Look out over Ellis Island today and you may notice something missing. The Statue of Liberty, which has stood, inviting foreigners to our great country since 1875 is gone. There is little to go on about where it could have gone. There are only a few eye witnesses and a few of them claim that there was a red clad figure present who somehow shrunk it down. They were then seen picking something up and vanished from the scene. Police are baffled by this turn of events.
Lady Liberty was a gift to the USA from France. Her artist Frederic Auguste Bartholdi began construction of her in 1875 and she was opened for visitors in 1886. It is our hope that this great American icon is returned to us promptly and without any damage. Please, Whoever took this national landmark, do the right thing and return it.
