They talk about thieves having light fingers, but whoever pulls off this heist needs a strong back, as well.
Anybody hazard a guess on what 1,100 pounds of steel and iron might earn on the open market? Me neither. But I do see an article on metal prices.com saying there's been a sizeable boost in scrap prices in Chicago in March. In the category of "Theft Over $500" in the Geneva Police Department reports comes the unusual news of a steel steal at the appropriately named Miner Enterprises, 1200 E. State St. Someone took 1,100 pounds of steel lock handles and ductile iron side bearings from the company sometime between Feb. 22 and Feb. 25, Geneva police reports said. The stolen property is a product of the plant, and the materials were taken from the rear exterior of the property. A report said the total value of the items stolen is forthcoming. …

Geneva police reports: It's not every day someone takes a 9-foot sculpture made out of car parts.
The sculpture isn't something you see every day—a 9-foot-tall horse and knight made entirely from bicycle parts. And now, of course, you can't see it every day because someone stole it. That's right, someone, somehow took a 9-foot piece of art out of a public right of way on one of the busiest roads in town and got away with it. At least, so far. The statue in question is the one that used to sit just outside City Hall near the Geneva library. It was moved not too long ago to the parkway on the west of the 100 block of South Randall Road near Fargo Boulevard, where someone took it sometime between noon Jan. 3 and noon Jan. 6, according to Geneva police reports. The sculpture weighs about 400 pounds and is valued at $2,000. According to a …
