(AP) — Someone worked hard to steal copper fixtures from a historic southeast Kansas theater, and a theater official worked just as hard to Screen Shot 2013-08-08 at 8.18.47 PMtrack the items down.

Colonial Fox Theatre executive director Vonnie Corsini noticed copper gutters, ornamental boxes and brackets missing from the Pittsburg building’s exterior Tuesday.

Corsini says a thief would have needed at least a 20- or 30-foot extension ladder to reach the fixtures.

Calls to area salvage yards led Corsini to a scrap metal business in Columbus, where the owner reported paying $280 for the stolen fixtures.

The Colonial Fox is being renovated, and Corsini had bought the items for $2,300 a few years ago when another historic building in Pittsburg was demolished.
