A rare Buddha statue worth over $1 million was stolen from a West Hollywood art gallery, and the crime was all caught on video.
It happened at the Barakat Gallery on La Cienega Boulevard early Monday morning. Gallery director Paul Henderson said he immediately noticed something was wrong the moment he walked in.
"He gets out, starts trying to rope around the gate, yanking on the thing, pulls it open and sure enough, within a couple of minutes, he's going back into our backyard," he said. "It's a missive statue and, you know, there's no denying what happened," said Henderson. "I just looked at it and practically had a heart attack."
