Machinery likely used to steal statue

LINDON (AP) — Police say thieves must've used heavy equipment to make off with a four-ton statue mounted outside a Utah motorcycle shop.

The $100,000 sculpture — which depicts an old-time speed racing motorcycle — went up two years ago outside the Timpanogos Harley-Davidson store.

When employees showed up for work Saturday morning, it was gone.

Kandi Zamora, a store manager, says the statue was mounted on a granite block, which is also missing.

Lindon Police Chief Cody Cullimore says the theft likely would have required a backhoe or a crane.
