MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Officials say a pair of Elton John’s heart-shaped
glasses has been stolen from a display case at a Memphis museum.

Memphis police said Wednesday the glasses were taken from the Memphis
Rock n’ Soul Museum. Officers were called to the museum Tuesday night,
when employees noticed the glasses were missing.

Officers said the case holding the glasses sustained no real damage. Police
said a museum manager told officers someone would have to use a set of
tools to remove the item from the case. An officer processed the case for
fingerprints.

Museum executive director John Doyle says these glasses are valued at
about $2,000. No arrests have been made, and the search for the glasses
continues.
