Venus de Missing: Hotel Rouge Offers Reward for Statue

2007_0920_venus.jpg

Via The Examiner's Yeas and Nays, it seems someone has swiped one of the nine statues of Venus outside the Hotel Rouge on 16th St. NW.

The hotel issued a statement offering a reward of a weekend stay with spa services for two to anyone who helps return the statue.

“Her sister Venuses claim to have not seen a thing, leaving investigators with no solid leads,” reads a hotel release. She’s described as about 5 feet, 6 inches, with a voluptuous figure and revealing tunic dress.

Brilliant crime caper, or even more brilliant marketing ploy?
