Early Bird Flies The Coop

After its mysterious theft  the “Early Bird Shopper” statue was found on a scenic perch high above the Ojai Valley.
The painted bronze statue was recovered on Sunday about 300 yards above the Shelf Road Trail after earlier being discovered by hikers. Ojai Officers lugged the 70-pound piece of art down from the ledge where an enterprising thief had glued it into place.
