La samedi matin 15 septembre, la GRC recevait un appel pour signaler une entrée par effraction au Centre des Jeux du Canada. Arrivés sur place, ils découvraient que la sculpture de Shane Wilson, réalisée dans un panache d'orignal et représentant des scènes de la vie sauvage du Yukon, était disparue. Rien d'autre n'a été endommagé ou volé a l'intérieur du Centre des Jeux.
Retrouvera-t-on la sculpture en vente sur eBay?
