Venus de Missing: Hotel Rouge Offers Reward for Statue

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?
