The Lorax was never stolen. It was taken down by the same people who put it up. I don't know what their purpose was in claiming that it was stolen.
At that time there was a bunch of young guys living across the street and slightly south from the stump. The artist lived in that building. It should be noted that someone in that building (probably the artist) was vandalizing the neighborhood with stickers that had a racoon face on it. He also vandalized the Warren convenience store at Main St. and Haile St. (the last time I checked, the vandalism could still be seen from the bike path). Although I believe the artist has moved out of town, more of those stickers went up last spring (most of them have since been taken down). It should also be noted that the Lorax is a copyrighted image, and that the artist was violating the law by reproducing it. There have been other so-called artists whose art is just vandalism. Let's recognize them for what they are.
