Thieves tore four bronze plaques off the Burnside District Fallen Soldiers' Memorial in Rose Park on Monday night, 12 October. The 102-year-old Helping Hand statue on top was left standing. Authorities believe it was theft for scrap, not vandalism, because there was no graffiti and no other damage.
