A
San Francisco church is offering an unspecified reward for information
leading to the return of its 122-year-old bell. Police said the 2.7-ton
bell was first noticed missing from St. Mary’s Cathedral when
parishioners arrived for services Sunday morning and church members said
it could have been gone for up to a month before the absence was noted.
Police said the 5-foot-across bell would have required a crane and a
larger-than-average truck to remove. Investigators said the bell, which
is 80% copper and 20% tin, would be worth about $75,000 if melted down
as scrap.
