It appears that the final sparrow on the very popular "Girl With Sparrow" statue in Old Town has been stolen yet again. Mike Trotter, a member of our Paphos Chat Forum, posted this photograph just after 1PM today.

Such idiots who are doing such a thing. I wish there were CCTV cameras or webcams in the area.

I wonder if the small fire yesterday, just below the statue, had something to do with the vandalism. It was quite a lot of smoke around the area, one can see on the second video from PaphosPress.

what ever next, we have not had the chance yet to view the statue, what with covid and other things, how low can some people get, an old saying, if it ain't bolted it will go missing, but seems it also will if welded.
such a disgrace.

Why do morons vandalise anything, no answer for brain dead.

Thinking about it it was probably a souvenir hunter. Your bog-standard vandal would be more likely to cover it in graffiti.

The statue is bronze and I suspect the parts removed are being sold for scrap. Worth a bob or two I guess.

So, it's all down to disobedience and mindless vandalism, in Paphos?????
I just can't comprehend it.
It's not the done thing, apparently....

In plain English, there are mindless scumbags in every city in every corner of the World, North Korea might be an exception thou

Yes, there are unfortunately. Remember the mindless moron who went along pulling a branch off all the young trees which are planted near to the Old Post Office, near the Market... Fortunately, I think he was captured by some street cameras,identified and appeared in court.
