VIRGINIA BEACH, Va.(AP) Her ebony hair perfectly parted and saucer-likeeyes perpetually staring, the life-size Betty Boop statue became a local landmark on the city's Shore Drive. But Sunday morning, a patron discovered the $1,600 figure a block away from its home in front of Cool & Eclectic Furniture and Fashion _ without its head.Six days later, the head remained missing."Without it, she's nothing," said store owner Larry Estes, who filed a police report Friday. Estes collected Boop's body and placed it in a storeroom. Then he began searching up and down Shore Drive.He is offering a free store item to anyone who comes forward with Boop's head."She's made a lot of people smile," he said of the mascot. "Who would do this?"Betty has had run-ins before. Two years ago, Hurricane Isabel's winds tossed thestatue down Shore Drive, severing limbs and crushing her head."From heel to head, I had to reconstruct her," Estes said.

Ohhhh that makes me laugh- Far - I am certain to send you almost 200$ just so I can keep up with the Jones's:-4 .......It reminds me of a place called -Floris Iowa..POP MAYBE~125 ~ anyway--they had a bar called the Lost Lady Saloon, and on top of the pub was a maniquin(sp?)..and about once a year they would steal her - but always she would be found...During the holidays they would put a santa costume on her, or if the guys were feeling naughty, they would put NOTHING on her but a lacey bra and panties....Then one day-she disappeared and never came back....She is still missing 9 years later...:-1
