Iconic sheep are missing

Some low-down scoundrel apparently absconded with the three little sheep out of Dick and Nina Dorsten’s front yard on Morris Street in La Conner.

Dick, an avid woodworker, made the trio of yard ornaments many years ago. He has kept them looking like new to set them out on his lawn during fair weather to delight passersby.

Sunday was a bright and beautiful day, and the Dorstens were away from home for a few hours while their sheep were out. When they returned, their little wooden flock was gone.

The theft occurred in broad daylight between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. If anyone saw someone hop the fence and nab the sheep, or has information about the stolen lawn ornaments, please contact the Sheriff’s Office or the Dorstens.
