True, true story. Read it in the newspaper this morning.
WAYNE, N.J. - Police say someone stole a 300-pound statue of the Hindu god Shiva from a New Jersey temple the night before the Indian new year.
The Indian Cultural Society Hindu Temple and Mahatma Gandhi Center in Wayne is planning to offer a reward for information leading to an arrest.
The statue was discovered missing Wednesday morning.
The statue, which is valued at $6,200, is made of a five-metal alloy that contains copper gold and silver.
Shiva is believed to decide whether a soul is to remain with the gods or to be reincarnated.
