Man Arrested For Stealing Horse Statue

A horse statue at the former Garden State Park racetrack in New Jersey went missing last week. Police have now arrested one man and are looking for three others; nobody is sure how, exactly, four dudes were able to steal a one-ton horse.

The Courier-Post reports “[p]art of the horse was recovered in Pennsauken,” but most of the bronze statue was sold for scrap in Camden. (And turned into glue, etc., etc.) The man arrested had four outstanding warrants in four different New Jersey communities. Highly impressive, but nowhere near a record. The theft of the statue, though, totally deserves a round of applause just for the difficulty factor.
