Police say a photo was circulated on social media shortly after the theft, in the hopes the sword hilt would be returned, but that has not happened.

Installed in 2013 between the Trent Athletics Centre and the Justin Chiu Stadium, the Trent Excalibur Legacy Sculpture was conceived by Trent Varsity athlete Sara Rettie and created by local artist Todd Riddolls of California Iron.
