WICHITA, Kan. — A Keeper of the Plains replica statue that was taken from a Wichita park over the weekend has been found not far from where it was stolen.
The Wichita Eagle reports that a resident spotted the statue in the grass beside a creek that runs by Colvin Elementary School. City maintenance workers retrieved the statue Monday evening. It’s too soon to say what they’ll do about the damaged statue. It is one of 13 Keeper of the Plains replica statues, each painted by different Wichita artists.
The 10-foot-tall, 75-pound fiberglass statue was pried off its base.
