Check the scrap yards, especially if it was made out of brass or bronze.

OK you got me started!
If (and hopefully) they are caught and they turn out to be some anti-gunner type who did it 'Because it is a symbol of violent America' or some other pettifogging' drivel it will only serve to make my disdain of these types even worse!!

My bet is on some meth head selling it to a scrap yard

One can only hope that the thieves dropped the cannon on their feet or permanently hurt their backs.
