Have you seen this statue?
A Mt Wellington widow is devastated after thieves stole this memorial dedicated to her late husband.
The 50cm koru sculpture was swiped from her garden last week.
Officers have appealed to the public for help.
"We understand it can have a devastating impact, especially when sentimental items or things which mean a lot to you and your loved ones are stolen," police said.
"We want to help return it (the statue) to her and her family."
If you have any information call 105 quoting file number 210216/2164 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Respite care when you need it
From rehabilitation after a hospital stay, to a little extra support, whether it’s for a few nights or a few weeks - respite care provides temporary care in a range of circumstances.
If you still live in your own home, a short stay at one of our care centres could be a welcome break from your usual routine.
Our respite care is offered at rest home-level care, hospital and specialist dementia care. In some circumstances, we may be able to offer you respite care in a serviced apartment.
