Thieves swipe statue of nude woman
ORLANDO, Fla. - Somehow, a thief or thieves was able to swipe a 50-pound bronze statue of a nude woman from an art gallery downtown in broad daylight.
The statue, titled "Crissy" and valued at $12,600, disappeared as visitors were perusing three private galleries at the CityArts Factory in downtown Orlando.
It was last seen at about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, and may have been rolled on a trail of T-shirts and windbreakers workers came back to that lead out the door.
"I thought, is there a naked person in there?" said Cassy Turiczek, executive director of the Downtown Arts District, after seeing the clothes.
"Crissy" had been at CityArts Factory for a little more than two weeks on a 4-foot pedestal in the building's community gallery, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
It featured a woman with an arched back and a swirling mane of thick hair.
