From Staff and Wire Reports — Costa Mesa police are investigating the apparent theft of a U.S. flag and two other banners from a pole in front of City Hall, a department spokesman said.
About 7 a.m. Monday, a city maintenance worker noticed the bare 100-foot pole, said Lt. Ron Smith. Besides the U.S. flag, a California flag and a POW/MIA banner were also gone, Smith said. They were replaced in about an hour, he said.
