Stolen wooden fisherman known as ‘Shorty’ returned to NS business
PEGGY’S COVE, N.S. — A popular wooden fisherman that was stolen from a tourist spot in Peggy’s Cove, N.S., earlier this week is now back in front of his owner’s business.
Peter Richardson, who owns Peggy’s Cove Lobsters, said he got a call from four Dalhousie University students who said they had rescued the life-sized carving known as Shorty.
Richardson said he travelled to Halifax on Saturday night to collect the folksy wood carving from the four women.
He said they told him they had heard a rumour that a group of men they know had taken the five-foot-two-inch carving, so they went to the men’s house while they were away and removed it.
