He said given the weight of the statue, and how it was secured, it must have taken two or three people to steal it.<\/p>\n<p>Poumay reported the theft to the Durango Police Department on June 17, said Cmdr. Jacob Dunlop.<\/p>\n<p>As of Friday, investigators didn\u2019t have any leads. Dunlop said the statue has been entered into a database that will flag the statue should someone try to sell it to a pawnshop.<\/p>\n<p>Poumay said the statue was created by Bryce Pettit, one of the artists chosen by the city of Durango to redo the art installation at the U.S. Highway 550\/160 intersection near the DoubleTree Hotel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful replica of a standing rabbit with big ears,\u201d he said. \u201cMy chances are slim, but I don\u2019t expect to see it back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em class=\"mwc_shirttail\"><a href=\"mailto:jromeo@durangoherald.com\">jromeo@durangoherald.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michel\u2019s Corner owner says he owned the sculpture for 11 years<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":53034,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[168,314,1065,29,74],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-53033","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-crime","tag-downtown-durango","tag-durango-police-department","tag-newsletter","tag-theft"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53033\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53033"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=53033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
