It was vandalized and taken over the Halloween weekend from the Avenue of the Arts. Call it a prank or a theft, it was apparently done by amateurs; the metal its made of is not readily taken for resale and no tools were used to remove the sphere. Brut strength was used to take the sphere off of its “petal” base, which scraped up the base.
The sphere is so distinctive, bright and colorful, that the only way someone could enjoy it is to conceal it. And this is the “real” crime, that person or persons unknown have taken the “public” out of public art and have deprived citizens and visitors to Boynton Beach the pleasure of experiencing this addition to the urban landscape.
If you have any information as to its whereabouts, or who may have taken it, you can report it anonymously by either calling 9-1-1 or online at www.bbpd.org.
