Has Anyone Seen a Zebra?

Greenacres neighbors were delighted when Pearl Stark of 47 Greenacres Avenue donated a large ceramic sculpture of a black and white striped zebra to adorn a newly planted traffic island across the street from her home. Stark has lived on Greenacres Avenue since 1965 and will be moving out this week. She gave the zebra as a parting gift to the community as she wished to thank the neighborhood gardeners for providing a lovely vista from her front porch.

The zebra was placed in a corner of the triangular island on Saturday July 23 and peered out at drivers coming up from Colvin Road. Sadly, sometime before Tuesday morning July 26th, the zebra was stolen. Heartbroken neighbors have posted signs asking for the zebra to be returned.

Remarking on the loss, a neighbor said, “Who would dare take something like that!”
