<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 367048, member: 2844&quot;]Yes, it is heartbreaking. One of the thefts was from a chapel that was dear to me. I was not a member of the community, but it was in one of those perfect idyllic spots, a place of pilgrimage hidden by trees in the wheatfields. It was not far from where I lived at the time, and I used to go there often. The entire area, including the nearby hamlet, is a heritage site.</p><p>The chapel was one of those places where even the replica was stolen. It is owned by the local guild, a tradition which dates back to when local militia protected communities. Here they are, with their chapel (and a local farm horse<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />):</p><p><img src="http://www.gildeleenderstrijp.nl/attachments/Image/Groepsfoto_pasen2010.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I should have explained that better. The churches and chapels were locked, but were broken into.</p><p>I have little hope the statues will ever be returned.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
