The statue was stolen early Wednesday from a memorial garden in front of the First Congregational Church.
Topeka police are looking for a 10-foot-tall bronze statue called "Forgiven Man" after it was stolen from a church.
The statue was stolen early Wednesday from a memorial garden in front of the First Congregational Church. Police say they received a call from a witness who saw two men load the statue into a pickup truck.
Police say the bronze statue is worth $10,000. The thieves also did about $400 damage to a concrete bench and sign at the church.
The church's pastor, Tobias Schlingensiepen says he believes the statute is worth more than $10,000.
Schlingensiepen is the Democratic nominee for the 2nd Congressional District seat. But he says he's sure the theft had
nothing to do with politics.

@t-bone, glad your back. @who has been kick-n-butt and take-n-names. This statute was hard to steal, and is way too big to hide for long. It will turn up like the last stolen statute.

My ticket yours was canceled once when you were redneckwatch and it is so easy to see your back as victory2012 so they gained nothing. They need to take action against you as your the biggest trouble maker on here only because you get off on it.
