Goose as it was dressed when it was stolen from a yard around October 1 to October 3, 2011 (See more goose pics on The Cardinal’s Facebook crime album).
UPDATE: The goose was reported recovered on October 10, 2011 when a resident in a south side Arlington Heights neighborhood woke up to see the concrete goose staring at him on the front porch one morning. He kept the goose a few days until he found out from a Chicago Trib Local Arlington Heights article that the goose had been stolen.
