KFI: Police in Toronto are looking for a stone worth thousands of dollars that was part of an art exhibit by Yoko Ono.
The stone, on which Ono inscribed the mantra “Love Yourself,” is valued at $17,500 CAD or around $14,000 USD.
It was part of an Ono art piece called Yoko Ono: The Riverbed.
Police say visitors had been encouraged to touch the art, although they weren’t supposed to take any of it with them.
A woman is suspected in the theft.
“It’ a totally interactive [exhibit],” Officer Gary Long told the Toronto Star. “[There’s] a bunch of rocks on the ground and people can walk up to them and pick them up.”
Long says the suspect in the case picked up one particular stone and walked off with it.
She is described as a 55 – 60-year-old woman, about 5-foot-4-inches tall. She was wearing a black coat with black pants and a black striped scarf. more
$14K, Yoko, it’s a rock, Negro please.
On average…I tell about three People a day to go
Love themselves…Where’s My Money?
BWAAAAAAAH Haaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaa haaaa …. maybe if this was the rock that Yoko hit John Lennon over the head with that lead to his cerebral hematoma that damaged his brain enough to consent to marry her … yeah
… but … this? …. Earnest T. Bass wouldn’t give you a dollar for it (& I trust his judgement on rock quality much more than carnival barker Bloko Yono)
I just made 100 of them, $50 per. rock. Free shipping.
The real crime is Yoko Ono passing herself off as…
…well, anything worth mentioning.
pet rock anyone? YEEEAA it can
make a come back.Just how stupid…
never mind… getting worse every day.
Best I can offer is tree fiddy.
No work tomorrow. Nice weather forecast. Heading to beach to make my fortune. There’s gold in them there waters.
Unless she actually passed that stone I’m not impressed.
“There is a sucker born every minute.” P.T. Barnum.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Scam artist walks happily away with the fool’s money. Or maybe with the insurance company’s payoff for the stolen, worthless fraud.

A 14K Pet Rock, eh?
There’s a sucker born every minute.
Oh and by the way, THIS IS NOT ART! FFS!!!
…breathe….!
I told you Pet Rocks would be worth something someday!
Well she does sound like she passed it!
She always sounded like a dial up modem connecting to me.
ya know … I got to thinkin’ (never a good thing)
if I was one of those rich sumbitches I’d a buy’d that rock
… & promptly pulverized it w/ a No-Bounce … (wearing my required safety goggles, hearing protection, face shield & hard hat combo)
I’ll sign a rock from Rockland County NY. I’ll sign it “MoeTom”. It will be available on July 4th 2018.
$5.00 a pop, all proceeds will go to IOTWREPORT.
Oh forgot, S&H is $150.00.
OK I’ll make S&H $145.00 so let’s make it an even $150.00 for the MoeTom rock. Details to follow. I need approval from BFH. That could take years.
typical Yoko … not enough talent to actually shape a rock … just takes credit for it
… her life’s metaphor in one simple creation by God
Is this one of the many rocks that Yoco puts in her mouth before she sings?
One of life’s greatest mysteries. You’re John Lennon and can have pretty much any woman in the world you want….
I must be wealthy and didn’t know it. There are hundreds of stones just like that one in the creek that runs along the south edge of my lawn. However, maybe they only become valuable if I’m a well known nut case with an irritating voice.
She should donate that rock to the Parkland High School rock bucket for self protection for those students!
I have a 120,000 lb Rai Stone.
I’ll sell it to you for a cool 1 Billion Dollars.
But it’s so heavy, you’ll have to leave it with me, but you will own it.
The lady just took it, doesn’t mean Yoko doesn’t still own it.
@Blink, my property grows rocks! Everytime it rains new boulders pops its rocky ledge up. I have a quartz vein running underneath my house, I bet there’s gold under my house!
I once worked with a guy who had a volcanic-looking rock on his desk which he had labeled “Ancient Hawaiian Sex Stone”. When anyone asked him what that meant, he would say:
“It’s just a f**king rock.”
My home state of Connecticut says “Hold my beer.” Look what we paid some clown $87,000 for back in 1977.

Heathens just don’t appreciate great art.
How would you know if she singing or crying about the messing rock?
Asian yodeling out of tune, very painful.
>is<
@ VietVet, so stolen.👍
@Reboot: Aren’t they all, when you get right down to it?
There’s very few new jokes under the sun.
P.S. – Hope things are going OK with you.
I’ll go down to the river and pick up a rock for you Yoko. One of millions lying on the river bed.
Molon Labe: “Ernest T. Bass” for the win; Petrus “unless she passed it…” for first runner up.
She obviously never brought it on tour with her because it’s still in one piece.
I have a yard full of those things, I must be a millionaire
