Police Search For Woman Who Stole Yoko Ono’s Rock

It appears a woman might be breaking rocks in prison just for stealing one.

The Toronto police are seeking a woman who’s “55-60 years of age, and standing approximately 5′ 4″” for taking a rock from a Yoko Ono exhibit at the city’s Gardiner Museum.

“Yoko Ono: The Riverbed” includes stones that were worn smooth by water and collected over time by Ono with Yoko’s written messages on each. Visitors are instructed to “pick up a stone and hold it, concentrating on the word, and then placing the stone upon the pile of other stones in the centre of the room”.

The unidentified woman, who was caught on security cameras, took a rock inscribed “Love Yourself”. It is valued at $17,500.

I could go to a James Taylor show just for the stories. The man is a part of music history and is still around to tell the tales of how it all began. Like, for instance, being the first artist signed to Apple Records. James “auditioned” for Apple with his song ‘Something In The Way She Moves’. "Paul went away and started the label and George went away and wrote the song”, he said.
