LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) –
A patriotic symbol purchased in the aftermath of September 11th, Allen and Anna Thibodeaux were shocked to discover their 7-foot Statue of Liberty yard ornament stolen. The Thibodeauxs said shock quickly turned to anger.
“We purchased this right after 9-11. It’s been proudly displayed in our front yard ever since. I just don’t understand why someone would want to take it,” Allen said.
Whoever did it likely had help because the cast iron aluminum statue weighs upwards of 200 pounds.
The couple live off Louisiana Avenue behind Cowboy Stadium. According to the couple, the statue was there Sunday night and was gone Monday morning.
Allen recalls seeing it after attending a McNeese game in Huntsville, Texas shortly after September 11th.
