COVENTRY -- An anonymous tip has led Coventry police to the whereabouts of a stolen statue of Nathan Hale at Diana's Pool in Chaplin.
The 3-foot-high bronze cast of the Revolutionary War hero and Coventry native son was in good condition, Police Chief Mark Palmer said this morning. The investigation is continuing.
The statue was reported missing April 4 from the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry. It had been sawed off or broken off at the ankles.

Freepers not withstanding, I wonder how many Americans even know who Nathan Hale was.

There have been a lot of statues being stolen across the country lately, as the price of copper has gone up. Bronze and brass contain copper. Pensacola this last month has had a rash of stolen AC coils from businesses..........

I know all about that, actually.
The company I work for scraps a fair amount of machined brass parts (as well as aluminum castings) every year.
We had about 900 lbs. stolen recently by an employee.
He was such a genius...our logo is cast right into most of the parts.

Who would steal something honoring such a great patriot?Nathan Hale was a miserable patriot. As George S. Patton said, "Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. "

Nathan Hale was not a miserable patriot. He was a lousy spy.
To: Alter Kaker
Hale was a brave man; he set an example for other patriots from his time down to the present.

He seems about as stupid as the guy here a couple of years back that robbed the bank, right here in his own hometown. This is really a small town, so everybody who saw the video on TV knew who it was............
