JOE VITTI / ARIZONA DAILY STAR 1977 It seemed to be a clear-cut case of statue-napping. The wooden carving of an Indian, nicknamed Geronimo, that had been in front of the Old Tucson Trading Post for 15 years was missing. It might have been just a coincidence, but there had been a dance sponsored by the University of Arizona's Intercollegiate Rodeo held at Old Tucson on the night of his disappearance. Fortunately, the antique was soon turned over to a local television station. He had no visible injuries. The ransom requested was 100 passes to the park for residents of a local rehabilitation program for American Indian teenagers. Old Tucson management, relieved to have him back, did not press charges and agreed to the ransom terms. On Nov. 23, 1977, Old Tucson employees were putting the statue back where it belonged. The note taped to his chest said, "We're wanted men, we'll strike again! (but first we'll have a beer) — W.I.L.M. (Wooden Indian Liberation Movement)."
