Someone in Montauk snatched an odd memento from the former oceanfront property of the world’s biggest con-man last week.
On Saturday afternoon, Robert Schorr, the caretaker of the former home of Bernie and Ruth Madoff, reported to East Hampton Town Police that a 4-foot steel sculpture, an Aztec replica, was missing from the front porch of the house at 216 Old Montauk Highway.
The sculpture was tagged with an FBI number because the federal government had seized the property and all its scattered remains in July. Joan and Raymond Hegner of the Corcoran Group landed the $8.75 million listing and the house went on the market on September 1. Proceeds from the sale will be given to the victims of Mr. Madoff’s $60 billion Ponzi scheme.
