- They have broken open a gate and then we think that someone has climbed up with a ladder and cut down the clock with an angle grinder so that it fell down. Then they probably used our trailer to drive away the clock, because our trailer is also stolen, he tells SVT Nyheter Dalarna.
Why would anyone want to steal something like this?
- I really do not know. This was pretty unpredictable, I've never seen anything like this before. It can be bronze in it, we have contacted the watchmaker so we will see what it can have for resale value.
The incident has been reported to the police and Jernberg says that several have heard from him and said that they heard a bang during the night.
- It may be that you heard when the clock in that case struck a foundation, he says.
