77-kilogram Yoda statue stolen
PASADENA, California (AP) _ Someone lifted a 170-pound
(76.5-kilogram) bronze statue of Yoda, the ``Star Wars'' Jedi
master.
The theft from a flatbed truck was reported to police last
weekend and artist Lawrence Noble has offered a $1,000 reward for
its return. The limited-edition bronze is worth up to $20,000.
``It's a real high-end collectible,'' Noble said.
The statue was one of four bolted to a flatbed truck parked
overnight Jan. 17 at the Westway Inn on Colorado Boulevard. Police
said someone grabbed Yoda that night or early the next morning.
``We are treating this as a burglary and we'd appreciate any
information the public might have,'' said police spokeswoman Janet
Pope.
Lucasfilm Ltd. commissioned the statues, a part of a planned
series featuring other ``Star Wars'' characters.
The statues were being transported from Artworks Foundry in
Berkeley to DKE Enterprises in Los Angeles to be sold, Noble said.
