Thieves take controversial Mojave Desert cross (AP)

 

This undated photo taken by Henry and Wanda Sandoz and made available Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2009, by the Liberty Legal Institute shows the memorial known as the 'Mojave Cross', on an outcrop known as Sunrise Rock in the Mojave National Preserve, in Calif.   Authorities say the 7-foot-tall cross  that sparked a U.S. Supreme Court dispute has been stolen.  The National Park Service says someone cut the metal bolts holding the metal-pipe cross to the top of Sunrise Rock and made off with it Sunday night, May 9, 2010  or before dawn on Monday.
