The 400kg bronze war memorial at Feuchy, Artois, was stolen early on 23 December:

It was found again the following day:

Good news for once but how on earth did they manage to remove something so big during the night without anyone noticing!

It is amazing and so sad that people will try to steal something with as much significance as this. As you say how did they manage to remove it? Glad that it was recovered safe and sound. It seems that things aren't sacred in France any more than they are in the UK recently.
