Neighbors Rudy and Kseniya report that an owl has gone missing from a home on Gates near Cortland. The missing creature is a presumably a decorative statue… but we’re not entirely sure. Also, 😦
UPDATE: The owl belonged to Neighbor Nancy, who just commented:
Yes, our owl went missing a couple of weeks ago. It’s purpose was to scare away the pigeons, but all the local kids, including ours, loved it! If you know of its whereabouts, please return it. The outpouring of concern has been amazing, but it’s disheartening that it happened in the first place.

How can a thief resist such a cute request for the return of stolen property?
And return my buddha while you’re at it…amazing that people think that it’s all up for grabs. I found a woman digging up bulbs from my front garden one day. The audacity!
