Lest I concern myself only with language errors, I'll pass along this story. Associated Press reports that a copper sculpture of a crane, valued at $3,000, which had been stolen but recovered was then mistaken for trash and thrown away.

The sculpture, stolen in November, is now believed to be buried under tons of trash at the Santa Cruz County dump.

"Somebody thought it was garbage," sheriff's Sgt. Fred Plageman said Tuesday...."It was human error on our part," Plageman said. "We are extremely disappointed and apologetic."
