LOS ANGELES -- Police said Gregory Peck's star has been stolen from the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Authorities said they don't know when it happened.
Police said they learned of the stolen star from Johnny Grant, who serves as Hollywood's honorary mayor and oversees the sidewalk salute to celebrity.
Grant said Peck's star apparently disappeared sometime between Nov. 17 and Nov. 22.
The late acting legend's star is the fourth one to be stolen since the Walk of Fame started in 1960.
Years ago, stars honoring James Stewart and Kirk Douglas disappeared after they were removed during a construction project -- but they later turned up.
Gene Autry's star also disappeared during a construction project. It was never recovered.
A replacement for Peck's star has already been partially installed but remains covered up.
I suspect Lucy and Ethel.
LOL! What Hotel are they staying in?
Wasn't Ricky Ricardo's star just stolen within the last few days?
If a star is stolen from the walk of fame, wouldn't it leave a big hole in the walk? Wouldn't someone notice that something is missing? Wouldn't they be able to narrow it down to a specific day instead of "sometime between November 17th and November 22nd?"
Methinks someone is asleep on the job.
