Thieves have had a change of heart after stealing a statue from outside of the Church of Saint Stephen-in-the-Fields (Anglican) on College Street. The status, known as “Whatsoever You Do”, by the artist Timothy Schmalz, was taken off of a plinth outside the church sometime around November 30, 2013. On Wednesday, December 4, 2013, it was discovered that the statue had been returned by unknown persons to the church premises. The statue was accompanied by as note: “I’m sorry, it seemed like a good idea at the time, ” the scribbled message said. The sculpture is one of the most popular and commonly displayed pieces of art in churches. It embodies the lesson of Matthew (25.40): “Whatsoever you do for one of my least brothers or sisters, you do for me.”
