A bronze statue of Ed Sullivan which went missing a few days ago has been recovered. The statue was taken from its pedestal at Hall of Fame Plaza outside the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on Sunday, September 28, police said on Monday.
On Thursday, the LAPD said that the 18-inch tall statue was successfully recovered and was in good condition. The law enforcement office, however, did not reveal more details such as where it was found or the suspects.
Although the 20-pound statue which is valued at $45,000 is recovered, the investigation is still ongoing. The case is treated as grand theft.
Sullivan probably is mostly remembered as the host of "The Ed Sullivan Show" which aired between 1948 and 1971. He passed away in 1974 at the age of 73 and is buried in New York.
