A Gold Coast man presented two beer cases for information about the disappearance of an iconic coastal statue.
Currumbin Beach Natives were confused to find the spirit of the sun, which was 100 kg of bronze statue, disappeared on Tuesday without leaving a mark.
A police investigation was launched about the missing statue and the state detectives joined their forces with their police coolangatta.
Local Nick Atkinson was shocked for hearing suspicious theft, and decided to present a reward for any information about where the Sun spirit was.
Unreal. Everyone, Devo, ” Mr. Atkinson told Kanal Seven to Sunrise.
“ This would be an important effort, just to take it … even grinding. Someone must have seen something. I feel like spark and sound, someone knows where it is about it [statue] I will find it today and I will find it today.
“ There is a cardboard beer presented and a sponsor came and said they would throw another sponsor.
‘There are two cardboard beers for everyone who informs me to find this thing.’

The Sun Spirit Statue has been a local favorite since it was acquired from a local artist.
Sun Spirit was purchased by Gold Coast City Council for $ 20,000 after the local bronze sculptor Frank Miles 2006 Art Festival.
Mr. Miles said that his daughter Bronwyn said that he was ‘absolutely ruined’ from the loss of the sculpture he modeled.
‘A meaningless action committed by individuals without social conscience. I have no idea how art enriches the audience, ‘He sent it to his Facebook profile on Monday.
‘I feel that I have lost a dear family member.’
Life -sized bronze regulation research was launched when a local community went to Facebook page: ‘What happened to our soul?’
When the news first left without disappearing, the locals questioned whether the statue was swept or removed by the former Cyclone Alfred or was removed before falling ashore.
Gail O’Neill, a member of the Assembly, went to social media on Monday to resolve confusion and said that the statue was controlled for damage after the wild weather.
O’Neill, “For more than 20 years of the sculpture, Cyclone Alfred’den examined after the Cyclone Alfred and found that he survived without any damage, so it is absolutely destructive to see him gone,” he said.
Local artist Frank Miles was depicted with the beloved statue he created in 2006.
“ I hope he will do the right thing if he stole him and returns him to his right house, so everyone can continue to enjoy him. ”
And Mr. Miles’ public art was not played for the first time.
The winner of the Centennial medal and the owner of the playroom nightclub, Berryl Carnell was stolen in 2021 on the Currumbin Creek coast.
Later, a scrap metal seller was sold to $ 200 to a scrap metal seller before he could save the statue in a terrible situation.
Herald Sun told, ‘Sun Spirit will probably be cut to some unscrupulous seller and sold as scrap metal,’ he said.
The theft that occurred these days seems terrible and nothing seems to be sacred or safe. No matter how safe it is, if someone is determined enough, they will steal it. ‘
A Queensland Police Spokesman said: ‘Gold Coast police are aware of the reports about the Sun Spirit statue lost from Currumbin Beach.
With the help of detectives from the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB), a crew from Coolangatta was assigned to investigate the issue.
‘Investigations continue.’
