Today is a big day at work, we're going to unveil the new falcon, à la "Maltese Falcon." A replica of the bird was stolen in February. When a $25,000 reward failed to get the bird back, restaurateur John Konstin commissioned the sculptors at the nearby Academy of Art San Francisco to make him a new one. The new falcon will be made of bronze, weigh 150 pounds. This new falcon will be placed in a new, reinforced display case protected by a video camera that will stand guard 24 hours a day. "It's a fake of a fake of a fake," acknowledged Konstin, "but people come from all over the world to see it. A lot of people moved to San Francisco because of that movie."
