Police Seek Owner of Stray Fiberglass Horse

A fiberglass horse more than 6 feet tall sits unclaimed in the office of a Los Angeles Police Department administrator after officers found it in the street during an early morning patrol.

Det. Kevin Coffey said he doesn’t know how the life-size replica found its way to Manchester and Hastings avenues in Westchester. The horse was found around 4:30 a.m., when two patrol officers happened upon the dark silhouette of an animal.

At first they thought it was real, Coffey said. They crept upon it slowly with their car, fearing they might scare it off, he said.

But when they got out, they found it was fake. They called a tow truck, which brought it to the station.

The figure, which is nearly 10 feet long, now sits in an administrative office at the LAPD’s Pacific Division on Culver Boulevard.

“It’s too big to fit in our property room,” Coffey said. Despite calls to various movie studios, parks and stores, the owner remains unknown.
