PARK CITY, Utah, Jan. 23, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — Park City Police are searching for a stolen sculpture of a bear taking a break from its coffee.
“Have you seen this bear?” a PCPD statement asks. “We are asking for the public’s help in finding a missing bear. The bear is 3 to 4 feet tall, weighs about 60 pounds, likes to drink coffee and is loved by family and neighbors alike.”
The artist’s bronze creation was a replacement for a similar coffee bruin stolen four years back.
“The first time was in October of 2018, but it was not recovered,” a PCPD statement says. “The owner paid a local artist $8,000 to have another one made, and secured it to a large boulder with heavy bolts and adhesive. Even so, it was stolen again.”
Anyone with information about either bears’ whereabouts is asked to call Police Dispatch at 435-615-5500.
