Carla Ayukawa posted to Facebook, saying she and her daughter spotted the Ganesh statue outside the Somerset Manor/Quai D’Orsay building early Thursday, too. The statue was in a black garbage ...

If the statue doesn’t find its way back to East India Company, Mehra said the family will replace it. But that could cost up to $7,000, plus the travel to India and shipping back to Canada.

The crystal Ganesh statues are available in crystals such as Amethyst, Black Obsidian, Amazonite, Tiger Eye, Rose Quartz, Clear Quartz, Red Jasper, Lapis Lazuli, Howlite, and Labradorite.
