Bronze Disc Denoting Geographic Center of San Francisco Stolen

San Francisco’s Department of Public Works recently installed a small brass disc marker on a sidewalk on the 700 block of Corbett Avenue, denoting the geographic center of San Francisco's 7x7 miles. Or at least an approximation of the center.

Sadly, as SFist brings to our attention, someone stole the little marker a day after it was adhered to the sidewalk. Behold:

Public Works plans on replacing it soon with someone more secure, possibly something larger like a plaque. And there you have it.
