Who would steal a work of art called 'Honesty' ?

[ron_newman]

Seven months ago, my friend Pauline Lim placed nine 'Urban Shrine' assemblages all over Somerville, most of them outdoors. She published their GPS coordinates and challenged geocachers to find all of them.

Last night, after the Redbones Bike Party, she strolled down Holland Street to show another friend the shrine she had placed closest to Davis Square:

But when she reached the place where it should have been hanging, she discovered that someone had stolen it from the chain-link fence just to the left of Dave's Fresh Pasta.

The name of the missing shrine? 'Honesty'.

If you find Pauline's work of art anywhere -- a trash can, a recycling bin, a yard sale, a flea market -- please tell both Pauline and the Somerville Police immediately. You can reach her at lim at PaulineLim.net. Thank you.

I wish she had put a small tag that said 'PaulineLim.net' under each shrine, but she didn't choose to do that.

I wish she had glued razor blades to the back.
