The following is from the City of Antioch:
We’re saddened to share that one of Antioch’s cherished public art pieces — the “Hey Daddy, Look!” sculpture located on Lone Tree Way near James Donlon Blvd — has been vandalized. Originally restored in 2022 at a cost of over $38,000, the bronze statue has stood as a symbol of joy and connection in our community. Sadly, on March 12, the City was notified that the statue of the little girl was stolen. Out of concern for further vandalism, City staff have since removed the remaining “dad” statue for safekeeping. The Antioch Police Department has been notified and a report has been filed. If you have any information or saw anything suspicious in the area, please contact Antioch PD at (925) 778-2441. We know many residents loved and appreciated this piece of art. Please know that we’re actively looking into options for what comes next. Let’s continue to look out for one another and our public spaces.
Scum bags
Stolen by homeless for the brass to recycle and buy dope.
Just when you think some idiots can’t get any lower……
domo,
.
They went lower when they began stealing brass markers off of graves and brass urns from cemetery niches.
In Antioch of all places they couldn’t see that all it would take is a dollar tree hacksaw and 5 minutes to cut the little tab under her feet and where the 2 hands connected?A city that has always been in denial of it’s own drastic realities.
oops, her hand is holding the back of his shirt I guess,even easier to cut.
His hand and water jug had been missing for a couple decades … cost $38K to fix? OMG. I fear to ask or imagine what a little brass girl will cost.
End child trafficking!
People suck.
The statue is likely now mounted on the hood of a Dodge Charger traveling on Highway 4.
Stop it! 😂
so true
