Late last week someone stole a statue of a Great Blue Heron that was placed as part of a public art program earlier this year in downtown Coeur d'Alene.The art heist happened sometime overnight between Thursday and Friday. The owner of The Olympia, a Greek restaurant, called it in. The statue was placed right outside the restaurant's doors, where it has sat greeting employees and customers alike since June."We are shocked that someone could actually do something like this," Eva Itskos, the co-owner of the restaurant said/Anusha Roy, KXLY.
