First the Wig and Now This

The auction has been burgled. Just when you thought this free and open society thing was working. But seriously, this is no joke. Fellow scholar Javier Ozuna was asked yesterday by Julien’s Auctions and Sotheby’s to get the word out in case someone visits a Cher friend in the next few days and sees a continental cold-painted bronze figural lamp (lot #626) sitting on a TV tray. The estimated height is 19 inches and the value is estimated at: $800-1200. Now, don’t steal it from the thief! I know it’s tempting to develop an insatiable need to have something you never really wanted two days ago. But contact the auction houses immediately. You can’t run from the law forever. Trust me; that’s no life. Apparently the bandit entered the ladies room and removed the tag there, which was all caught on camera by security. There’s a security camera in the ladies room??? I guess we can all assume our our perp is a chick. Or Eddie Izzard.

You can view the auction live today and tomorrow.
