Ill take crazy liberal woman obviously
While it doesn't require assistance for an in-shape man to carry that thing away, that's pretty heavy for a purple haired, unathletic liberal woman.
My guess is it's worth a lot more without being melted down, but they could never find a buyer, so it'll be sold for the price of silver.

Three Arrested after Stealing Abraham Lincoln Statue from Houmas House
Detectives with the APSO Property Crimes Unit have arrested the following subjects in connection to a stolen statue from Houmas House on September 6:
• Steve Coronado, 28, of Raceland
• Alma Fontenot, 20, of New Iberia
• Bruce Shelvin, 49, of Avondale
They are charged with Simple Burglary and Felony Theft Over $25,000.
Synopsis:
On Sunday, September 7, detectives responded to a burglary that occurred at Houmas House and Gardens in Darrow. Upon arrival, detectives located a broken window where the suspects forced entry and stole a statue of Abraham Lincoln made entirely of solid silver, with a historic value estimated at $166,000.
During their investigation, detectives learned the suspects sold parts of the statue at a pawn shop and a gold and silver shop located in Metairie, after cutting it down into several pieces. Detectives identified the suspects and executed arrest warrants with the assistance of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office. Fontenot and Shelvin were transported and booked into the Ascension Parish Jail. Coronado remains booked in the Jefferson Parish Jail on related charges and will be transported to Ascension Parish at a later date.
Bastards cut it up and tried to sell it in pieces

THE PLAN
Steal rare silver statue.
Cut up statue into smaller pieces of silver.
Try to sell small pieces of silver locally.
Shocked when they are caught after such a meticulous plan.

More like around $39k.
There's only 14.58333 (repeating, of course) troy ounces per pound.

Someone saw that Lincoln statue and liked what he saw.

They had such a good plan. I’m shocked it didn’t work.

Raceland, New Iberia, and Avondale. Talk about a trash trifecta.

Why was there a statue of the first US dictator at a plantation in southern LA.

Retarded. If you are going to cut it up and destroy the actual value of it, just melt it down. Would have been fairly simple and harder to trace to the statue
