The Sculpture-Stealing Capital of the World
What's going on in Fairfax County, Virginia? As James W. Bailey points out, in 2004 there were three large sculptures stolen or dumped in Fairfax County!
1. Marc Sijan's $40,000 "Legs Folded" from the Northern Virginia Fine Arts Festival. (It was eventually recovered from the apartment of the thief in Fairfax County).
2. Zach Oxman's sculpture of Robert S. Simon in Reston. (Also recovered from Lake Anne and reinstalled at Lake Anne, Fairfax County).
3. And the PandaMania Panda found dumped in Fairfax County. (Recovered in Fairfax County - In today's Wash Post's Metro section there is a picture with a photo caption line of a Fairfax County Police Officer pulling a stolen PandaMania Panda (originally stolen from the corner of Connecticut and Florida Avenues NW) from the Pohick Creek in Lorton, Virginia.
