Bronze Melania Trump statue, installed near Sevnica in 2020, has vanished after being sawed off its base, with Slovenian police investigating the theft just five years after a wooden predecessor was torched. Artist Brad Downey replaced the fire-damaged original with this bronze tribute, now as elusive as the former First Lady herself.

Investigators found only the statue's base left behind in Rozno, Slovenia, with no suspects yet. Crafted after the wooden version was burned, this fireproof art piece became an unlikely target for statue theft, a search now echoing in “Melania Trump news” headlines—leaving locals picturing a bronze figure on the run.
