Don’t worry. Just one of our elite overlords adding to their collection.

“A bronze Buddha statue valued at $1.5m was stolen”

Is this above the California $1,000 limit that counts as theft?

This racist math thingy is kinda hard....

;-)

Or a scrap metal dealer will melt it down.

Bet some clown stole it to melt it down for the metal weight.

They could make almost $600 and the world would lose an antique piece of art. Not bad for less than an hour in work. / s

So disgusted by the degenerates of this world.

It looks good in my mancave, right next to my scotch selection. I threw some gold leaf on it. It looks a lot better.

Usually, I just count the zeroes in the number. But who knows how many zeroes are in $1.5m. And is that less than $1.5MM?

My brain hurts.

It’s a good looking piece. Probably could make some money selling repros in various sizes.

That looks like the sacred “Get the flock outta here” Budda.
