Picture Stolen At Bella’s
This happened a couple of weeks ago, but it seems to making the rounds and picking up interest. Someone stole a photograph from the women’s bathroom. One of the owner of Bella’s, Joanie Corneil, had bought the picture of a man and a boy in clown costumes, in the 1970s for $5.
It was in Bella’s for almost 15 years before someone felt the need to steal it. A sign in the dorr at the restaurant offers $1,00 for information leading to the arrest of the thief.
The following description is in a St. Pete Times article about the theft:
It’s about 20 inches tall. It’s in color, but it’s that sort of muted ’70s color, like an old movie poster.
The grinning man looks a lot like actor Dustin Hoffman; the cherubic boy is wearing a ruffled collar and has a tear painted under his eye.
If you have any information about the stolen picture call Bella’s Italian Cafe at (813) 254-3355.
