Bear thieves do it again!

On October 1st 2018, a bear sculpture showing the animal sipping its morning coffee was stolen from a house in our neighborhood and was never recovered. 

After being replaced 18 month later, we learned three days ago that it had been, once more, stolen. 

This time, the Park City Police Department is asking for the public’s help in recovering that unique artwork. “We are asking for the public’s help in finding a missing bear,” said a statement from the PCPD. “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 owners paid a local artist $8,000 to create a new one and secured the statue to a boulder with bolts and adhesive, but it didn’t resist the robbers’ brute force. 

If you happen to see that bear around your friend or neighbor’s house, call our police department at 435-615-5500. I’m not certain, but I assume there will be a reward between $1 and $8,000!
