A large bronze sculpture has been swiped from a northwest Calgary park and residents of the community want more care to deter these types of thefts.
The stolen dog statue was part of a bronze statue featuring Gene Hanson, of the Hanson Ranch, on a horse.
Though the tribute statuary to Gene Hanson is in sight of several homes, a spokesperson for the Hidden Valley Community Association said lights installed when the park opened about 20 years ago, were vandalized awhile ago and the city has not replaced them. “Because it's dark, because it's is obvious people don't frequent this area, it's not a welcoming spot," she said."It's easy pickings, that dog was easy pickings.
“Upon closer inspection,” it added, “it was obvious that the bolts that affixed the statue to the platform were sawn off and the statue carried away. The community reported the theft to Calgary Police Service and 311 on August 10.Around 4 pm., Calgary police issued a statement about the stolen statue.
“On private property, residents may want to consider locking up their valuables or keeping them out of sight, and anchoring large decorative items. Alarm systems and security and/or doorbell cameras can also provide a deterrent.
