Vandals Attempt to Topple Reagan
A bronze statue of President Ronald Reagan in Bonita Canyon Sports Park in Newport Beach, Calif., was nearly toppled by vandals trying to drag it off. Using a chain and truck, the would-be thieves left Reagan leaning sharply to the left. “Either someone really didn’t like Reagan or they tried to steal it so they can sell it for scrap metal,” police Sgt. Kirk Jacobi said. Reagan, who was dedicated on Oct. 9, has been removed because of the damage.
