That's awful, who does those types of things? What a bunch of F**kwits!!

I have played on the oval and am ashamed to be an Aussie when senseless stuff like this happens.

Hope these pricks go play golf out in a lightning storm

I couldn't believe this. Not to a tribute to Hooksey! Bloody disgusting.
Hope the moron either wakes up to fact it isn't funny and returns it, or he gets dobbed in

Probably taken by someone who has no interest in cricket at all bcos no cricket lover could possibly disrespect the great man by stealing a monument in his honour.

Pretty insignificant tho compared to ******** that decked him resulting in his death and he got off
Would be ironic if the person who stole this monument got caught and sent to jail for theft.

hmmm cutting things, David Hookes and Thebby oval seem to have a history......


Hookesy once cut a tree down so he could watch the footy better in a pocket of Thebby Oval


As a Rate payer of the West Torrens Council I'm livid as when he died there was a media story on how the council declined to contribute funds for a memorial as it was to be placed at the West Torrens Cricket Club's current home ground at Henley Oval which is outside their boundaries.

They have decided to place a memorial of their own where Hookesy made a name for himself yet some low life has decided to chase some easy $$$$. Dog Act

The funny thing is, you steal something like that to sell it right?
The only people who would pay for that are cricket lover right?
A cricket lover would rip your head off for doing this.

Be melted down for the metal value by now, time to commission a replacement.
