A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION WHICH I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH: Does anyone know where I could buy one of those white lion statues seen on every single Vancouver Special ever?  I’d really love to take one with me when I move and I’d really love to not get a criminal charge because I tried to pry one off a gate. I’m not even sure what the proper name is for these statues, so googling, etc isn’t very helpful. Is this something you’d get in Chinatown? Is this something a building company would have? Or are these things so old and ugly that they’ve been purposefully wiped from the face of the earth. Either way, I wanna take one of these guys with me.  Any ideas? Update: found.
