The public has no reason not to trust BPDA. Sure they've made "mistakes" before but given the fact they issued a statement saying it Will Never Happen Again surely we can trust them now.
Besides, that one crook resigned. It's only trustworthy, dedicated public servants now.
There's gotta be a warehouse, I'm thinking along the Southeast Expressway in Dorchester, that holds all of Boston's missing things - the Coke sign, Curley's desk, etc.
They say probably scrapped, but maybe someone with a big truck and several strong friends took it home.
I hear that somewhere in Auburndale there's a giant totem pole from Norumbega Park's Totem Pole ballroom that had to be cut in half to fit into someone's basement.
According to this blog http://www.cryan.com/blog/20180524.jsp, the two Paul Pedini stole were returned, but the other two are at a restaurant in Saugus.
