Red Boy stolen

"They got a name for the winners in the world
And I want a name when I lose"....Steely Dan

I recently posted a story about my visit to the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition at Cottesloe Beach. The exhibition is not fenced off, but has security guards, CCTV and plenty of lighting. One of the installations (see, I can use the artists' terminology) was stolen by a young fellow just 24 years of age under CCTV cameras in a well-lit area. The cameras even captured the ute/pickup truck he was driving without a licence. It wasn't too difficult for the cops to trace our man and they found the severed statue in the roof-space of the family home. Mother, of course, was embarrassed and shamed and didn't want to be identified.
