Cactus Artwork Stolen from Albuquerque Library Branch

Or so they thought.



Followup: Missing cactus discovered in landfill.

Excerpt: Vandals had smashed and unbolted the fiberglass cactus when city workers came across it a couple days ago at Tramway Linear Park near Tramway and Lomas Boulevards. The workers thought it was junk, so they took it to the landfill.

According to the city, the workers were responding to a 311 call made by a resident to dispose of a real cactus that had been knocked over. Officials are calling the accidental disposal an honest mistake.
