There are no video cameras on the third floor of building, and all leads regarding the theft have been exhausted, he said. Ogden said during the investigation, authorities discov­ .. ered a woman estimated to be between 60 and 70 years old told an office staffer that she thought the statue was offensive. Shortly after this incident, the statue went missing, he said. Ogden said no one recognized the woman or knew why she was in the building. Fogerty said she does not believe the woman who com­ plained about the statue stole it because the woman did not register a formal complaint. Even though the statue is large in size, it is not very heavy Ogden said. Anyone could have taken it off the wall and walked away with it, he said. Dana ~rittin~ham, staff assistant for the Office of Equity and Incluswn, satd the only reason she could think of for the theft is if the perpetrator was offended. "We are not the only ones with naked lady art around here," Fogerty said. "There is a statue of a naked lady in the courtyard that can be seen from my window." BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Brandon Reece, a graduate assistant, said other office em­ ployees do not know how or why "the statue was stolen. "My reactions to the theft were basically confusion as to why someone would steal it," Reece said. "It has become the joke of the office because what else can you do but look at it with humor? It is so outrageous." Fogerty has her own theory as to why someone would take the sculpture.
