Stolen tikis in UK - General Tiki

L LesTaboo Member Joined: Sep 29, 2003 Posts: 1	L LesTaboo Posted posted on Mon, Sep 29, 2003 3:15 PM I recently moved to England and brought two large tiki log figures with me that I carved myself. They were nicked (stolen) from my house near Otley, Yorkshire in May, 2003. One is about 3.5 feet tall and 15" or so in diameter, is a "head only" figure, is stained an orangish color with black trim, and has some wood rot on the back side. The other is a female "head and hands" tiki about 2 feet tall and 10" diameter, with some deep radial cracks in the wood, finished with a greyish stain. If anyone in the UK spots these tikis, please let me know, I'd sure like to get them back if possible. If someone bought them at a car boot (flea market) please understand that they were stolen!
