Officials at Palo Alto's Gamble Garden are pleading for the return of a fountain in the shape of a frog and lily pad that went missing one week ago.

The fountain was given by a donor in memory of a 4-year-old boy who loved the garden, Executive Director Vanessa Roach wrote in an e-mail to neighbors.



"The frog is very special to our staff, members and visitors, both young and young-at-heart," she wrote.

"If anyone knows anything, please call. Or please leave him on our front steps, no questions asked."



Elizabeth F. Gamble Garden is a 2.5-acre estate on Waverley Street run by a nonprofit community horticultural society.



we're sorta suspecting one of the high school kids, who else would steal a brass fountain?

 

It's probably already on craigslist..

 

With the price of copper being what it is, somebody's going to sell it to the scrap man for beer money.

 

BRILLIANT!!!!!!

 

i thought scrap metal was way down?



if I die and someone wants to construct something out of brass, make mine a monkey

 

would you like to touch my monkey?

 

That thing is ugly, I'd say the thief did the city a favor.

 

 

brass monkey!!!! that funky monkey!!!!!
