FOLLOWUP: Memorial bench from ARK Park has been found

Update on a story we reported here about this time last night: The memorial bench from ARK Park in Arbor Heights has been found. The family of the baby for whom it was named says the little bench turned up in some bushes in the park, broken in two. Despite the damage, they’re glad to have it back, and thankful that so many people were on the lookout for it.

I guess that’s bittersweet news. I hope the bench can be repaired. You just wonder what kind of dirtbags did this. It’s stupid, cruel, and pointless.

Thank goodness it was returned. And what kind of cretin breaks a memorial bench in half?

Likely that the material broke in two while being carried away and therefore was abandoned, or broke when tossed into the bushes to hide. Pointless indeed.
