Heartbroken father seeks return of memorial statue dedicated to his late son

[@francinepadilla8197]

How can someone be so heartless? How can you destroy this family and their friend's? Please put the statue back, and leave the statue alone, how pathetic can one be? How can you live with yourself knowing what you did? To these parent's, I am so sorry that this atrocious act has happened to you, I hope that your son's statue is returned back to you, so that you can enjoy his legacy for many more year's, good luck and God bless you all!!!

[@angelface8336]

I pray your statue is returned❤ XOXO

[@MADWEASELCOMEDY]

Junkie move... apply pressure to all local scrap yards

[@daveatkins3568]

💯

[@ashleeperez327]

Completely agree

[@paulablack1863]

Agreed. Perfectly said. Check all scrapers that aren't in town. Because the local scrapers would know exactly where this came from, so they most likely went out of town where people don't know... Best wishes all

[@ec6443]

Check with scrappers. That's who took it.

[@justinegillespie7951]

💯💯💯💯

[@SherWat5056]

Yup, they already melted it down.

[@cheryldurham3560]

The is absolutely disgusting. Prayers for the parents 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻

[@sammyhooligan803]

Whoever took it, just return it back. Drop it off at a goodwill, a post office, or anywhere someone will eventually find that statue. That's their memorial of their son.

[@al-guerilla]

For-Really-tho

[@nunya9274]

Unfortunately, they won't return it because they took it for the copper😫😫😫

[@joyceibanez8207]

​@@nunya9274 Unfortunately you're most likely right. 😢 But, maybe, just maybe, whoever they take it to be recycled will have heard this story and call the authorities. We can only hope. 🙏 Some people are just so damned HATEFUL.

[@marianettejudge6017]

My condolences to the family. 🙏 People are so heartless. I pray the family gets their son's status home 😢AMEN 🙏

[@deloreslopez1212]

I pray that it's returned, this is just disgusting that someone could do this😢😢

[@maureenjohnson5151]

To think a thief would be this dumb to take off with the statue!😡

[@TanganyikaRichardson]

Give it to him for free. Do not take that elders' money or God be with you.

[@Mydeliciousdee]

The park needs to help replace and put protection around it.. Help him out Community what is going on.. This should already be back up 🙏🙏

[@diyboomboxesintexas2805]

Why would anyone do that?

[@Karmaaaaaaaaa28]

Ppl are sooo sick

[@Suicidal_Soy_Sauce]

It's definitely at a scrap yard. Hopefully the scrapyard employees weren't too boneheaded to take a statue, or the thief was smart enough to melt it down. I can imagine some idiots just rolling up with a statue in the bed of their truck and the scrapyard employee just waving them through...

[@FrancesBender-pi8zy]

Absolutely devastating 😢

[@Cindy-32726]

What the hell is wrong with people they have no freaking heart!!

[@mississippimud7046]

[@denisegay232]

Put it back NOW!

[@craeddock]

Jealousy, it might be scrapped, sadly. Let's hope not yet.

Please Lord please!! May this baby come home!!! It's Christmas!

[@Franklin-jj4jz]

If you make another statue, you'd better make it out of fiberglass.

[@raerae6422]

Yep, nothing that has scrap value.

[@leslieschott754]

It is SO SAD that many (especially young ) people are so cruel and thoughtless in today’s society! It breaks my heart to know they are unknowingly condemning themselves! 😮😱🙆‍♀️😢 WHY?!

[@gregsimpson5115]

Poor man 😢😢😢

[@christyjo5126]

[@jamieevans1387]

Why would anybody take that?! That's disgusting

[@DiannaHarrieth]

This is horrible. Some people are real heartless animals

[@celestebivin1659]

People these days are so bloody disgusting! That poor man

[@justinegillespie7951]

I know that they want the original back but with the technology we have now I think that it is time for a change! Please return the original back to the family and put up a new revitalized statue! The site really needs a upgrade.

[@PriscillaPerez-k1x]

How is it that no-one heard or saw when this was happening? Im sure there are cameras recording. Find who did this and put the statue back up!

[@lorettarushing3498]

I know I went through something like that. Had some guy I went on one date with in high school total psycho went and vandalized my sister infant grave sickening.

[@livelearn4974]

Someone will melt it down, before scraping it.

[@andyperkins7226]

Who in recent years have been advocating removal of statues hmmmm

[@lordsofsalem6660]

Blacks

[@Sts43210-qn2kv]

I remember ppl advocating for the removal of specific types of statutes. Who was it that wanted ALL statues removed? That's wild 😳😲🤯

[@nanettewhite8269]

I can't believe there would be human beings in this world that would actually commit this heinous crime

[@Sarah_t420]

Wtf why would someone ever do something so ridiculous and cruel smh 🤦‍♀️🤬

[@HeidiHundelt]

Sick people😮😢❤

[@mailelouie658]

Check out frat houses at University of Houston or Rice, just guessing because those colleges are near Pasadena Texas

[@kimberlyguillen7324]

Are there any cameras in nearby places that can find out which direction they went to?

[@naturalist-j8x]

Its been scrap and melted down . And thats so sad, but it just shows how bad we are in the economy.

[@msj793]

I was thinking this. People are going to do whatever they can for money. Then these companies aren’t hiring either. It’s like we’re in the Hungar Games or something 🫠

[@ClaudiaSalazar-n1c]

Omg how horrible .why would they do that

[@kerirobicheaux6629]

Who the h would do that? What scum.

[@Wade-1]

Liberal soft on crime justice system gets you this.

[@susantaylor4340]

Unfortunately, a scrapper has probably cut that statue into pieces and got paid from a local scrap yard. The devil is gaining, I fear. God help us!

[@shayhall4344]

So cruel

[@earlenem5745]

Are they going to protect it more now I mean this is ridiculous you got a what fence all this in now.... Can't you put some kind of big fence iron fence or something around it now on the new one I mean this is ridiculous

[@kimberlyguillen7324]

Oh also those who took it remember karma is real.

[@robertstorm7463]

That’s pure bullshit, why in the hell would somebody take a memorial statute of somebody that wasn’t a bad person, that had a kind heart was a person overall or they went to put that statue there, when you find that statue, make sure you leave a little something for the guy that stole it

[@saracanedo9833]

[@alexjimenez8088]

People with records that can't get a good job. High Property taxes, Rent past due no credit or maxed out credit lines. Pressure of Christmas Gifts. Court fines. It would be better to keep the new statue at home. People cant handle freedom much less nice things.
