News update: KOLD 13 reported that this stolen ax has been returned, “no questions asked”. Meanwhile there’s a large red/white candy cane in the giant’s hands for the holidays.

A couple times a year my family would drive by the huge axe-wielder on our way to Shakey’s Pizza (now long gone) in the early 70’s. My little brother and I would hide every time in the back of the Chevy stationwagon for fear of being “axed”. Maybe it’s best that the weapon was stolen so no other kiddies have to be frightened into stuffing their heads into their seat cushions.

The Ronald McDonald house used to be just east of the Sun Station Post Office on Speedway, and years ago someone stole the clown statue from the bench that was sitting outside. The statue was recovered with an arm missing. Yes, these are the vandals and thieves that deface statues in town, since they seem to have nothing better to do with their time & energies.

hey carolyn,
yes, i am glad, as per the poll, that people care about this. i hope the fools who stole it return it soon, too. some people really need get lives if this is their form of amusement.
the ronald mcdonald statue theft was before my time here, or at least i’ve not heard of it. but glad to hear it was returned (even though ronald is not my favorite character…it’s not like they stole GRIMACE or something…).

I drove down Stone on Wednesday evening, the 18th, and the Ax was missing at that point, so it was gone before Friday.

82% of the voters are either mad or sad, or both over this theft. We drove by tonight and saw Paul Bunyan sans ax. Hope the fools who stole it return it soon. Remember when someone stole the Ronald McDonald statue on Speedway from the R M House? That one was found and luckily returned.
