Irony update (2)
Scrap metal thieves haul off sculptor's recycled artMANATEE COUNTY - Oh, the irony: A man uses scrap metal to create artwork. Thieves steal the artwork and police believe it is sold as scrap metal.
Three large pieces of artwork were taken from a home in Whitfield Estates, where a band of crooks -- it had to be more than one person, deputies reason, because the art weighed about 300 pounds -- snuck off with steel statues.
Neither the artist nor police are sure what happened to the artwork. But both presume it was sold for scrap. The way scrap metal is selling these days, the thieves may have been lucky to get $40 or $50.
