Fiberglass cow stolen from school

NEW YORK, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- The principal of a New York school has a message for whoever took the facility's life-sized fiberglass cow: You made the children cry.

Principal Denise Levinsky of Seth Low Intermediate School said the cow, painted 10 years ago by eighth-grade students as part of a citywide project, was first noticed missing Monday from the front lawn of the institution, the New York Post reported Monday.

"Neighborhood children are crying because the cow is no longer there," Levinsky said. "It was part of the community."

Some children had their own theories about who took the cow.

"It's cruel and mean," said Niki Lam, 11. "I think it was terrorists, because they don't like peace," she said, referring to the peace sign that adorned the bovine.
