Well they probably will be freed now you have drawn attention to them, but by thieves for scrap metal value. Well done.

[Huguenot]

What a ridiculous claim to make Razors.

[maxxi]

He's only pointing out the obvious Huge.

I mentioned the railway line from London Bridge to ED once... on a public forum! I will be kicking myself if scrap metal thieves nick the bloody thing.

I applaud such public service and can only hope razors keeps an eye out for all of us.

(P.S. - Don't mention the Shard - there's a lot of metal in it).

I'm surprised no one has chopped the Angel of the North off at the ankles as yet.

[Salsaboy]

They're still looking for the right size hacksaw.

[Razors]

Very funny. But mark my words. . . In fact, approx 2-3 wks before the Hepworth was half inched, the sculpture was talked about on the Nunhead Forum and it was mentioned in a jokey fashion that it could be taken. Low and behold . .

[Annette Curtain]

It might rain this week-end

Low and behold . .

The Bone heads in charge of the stuff should be sacked for negligence

How much was the Barbara Hepwoth worth?

Half a mi??ion (and some)

And in the deepest recession, with metal prices at an all time high & thieves up and down the country stealing such stuff, they left it there (near on) unsecured

NETTE(6)

Unsecured?!! I don't think so. It hardly blew over in the wind did it? What do you expect - 24hr security guards? By their nature - thieves - steal, regardless of security, thats why they're thieves. Surely the issue is addressing the free for all scrap metal dealers, and Court sentencing that actually acts as a deterrent rather than removing public art, or providing expensive security at a cost to the tax payer. Tackle the problem at its source, not its symptom, and not at the expense/inconvenience of the innocent law abiding.

Yes, yes. This. Post hoc ergo propter hoc. It's true I tell you.

DUH

1/2 a million pounds worth of sculpture left planted in an unlit park.

And no it didn't exactly blow over, but then again it wasn't exactly secure was it

However, talking about it as we are here or on the NHF didn't make it disappear either

You don't write for Jonnathan Creek do you ?

Somewhere possibly, no doubt, I should think so, you know you know, for sure

And who was the first to raise that possibility on this forum....?

To continue the Latin motif - tua culpa me old mukka.
