shocked It seems that my art work is in such demand that it is being stolen off the wall. **cue spy music**

It turns out that I was a suspect in the case!! I had to go and talk to an officer about it. I was read my miranda rights and everything!! tongue

I guess I'm no longer a suspect. Maybe I should get back into doing sculpture...this could be a sign. surreal

Seriously though, it's really shitty for the owner of the piece...whoever stole it should return the fucking swordfish.


Here's a copy of another article that was written about it...

Swordfish snatched off Zoe's wall, Restaurant owner has his suspicions

By Z. BEN FEDER Staff Writer Daily Hampshire Gazzete

[ Originally published on: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 ]

EASTHAMPTON - The owner of Zoe's Fish and Chop House, a restaurant that offers murder mystery dinner theater every month, has a different type of case to solve: Somebody made off with his 9-foot-long metal swordfish.

It's baffling to me, said owner Jim Sands on Monday about why someone would steal the sculpture, which was a gift from a local artist.

'It's heartbreaking, is what it is,' he said.

Instead of listing the current specials, the sign outside the Route 10 establishment reads: 'Please return our swordfish. Reward.'

The metal sculpture, made of strips of iron and weighing roughly 100 pounds, resembles the skeleton of a swordfish. It was taken from the lobby of the seafood restaurant between 11:30 a.m. and 10 p.m. Friday, Sands said.

According to Sands, lunch lasts from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., after which the hosts leave their posts by the entrance to do office work elsewhere until dinner begins at 4 p.m.

Sands said he believes that between meals would have been the perfect time for one or more people to grab the fish off the wall, completely out of sight.

His usual dinner crowd on a typical Friday is around 200 guests.

'I don't know what anyone would want with it, but it's very valuable to me,' he said, estimating the value of the sculpture to be $2,000.

Whenever it disappeared, what is known is that none of the 40 employees working noticed the theft until Sands' wife, while closing up, called her husband at home to ask where the fish had gone.

Sands reported the theft to the Easthampton Police Department around 10 p.m. Police said the matter is currently under investigation.

When asked who might have pilfered the black sculpture, he said it could have been some audacious customers, but more likely it's some of his employees pulling a prank.

'I shudder to think that it was someone who worked here, but it wouldn't surprise me,' Sands said, adding that there were more valuable things than the large fish adorning the restaurant's walls.

Sands added that the theft has taught him a lesson, and in the future he will have staff at the front desk at all times. If he gets the fish back, he said, it will be better secured to the wall.

Although he was inclined Monday to press charges against the perpetrators, Sands also said he would be generous in his gratitude for anyone with information on the fish's whereabouts, or leading to its safe return,

'It depends on the circumstances,' he said. 'Maybe free dinners for a month.'
