| | | | Canada's Walk of Fame: Encyclopedia II - Hollywood Walk of Fame - Stolen Stars There have been four stars stolen from the walk of fame since it was begun in 1960. The stars of Jimmy Stewart and Kirk Douglas were stolen from a construction site on Vine Street. The stars were removed for a construction project. The culprit was a contractor who was later caught with the two damaged and unusable stars, but not until after they had been replaced. The star of Gene Autry was also taken from another construction project. That star was found in Iowa. And on November 27, 2005, the star for Gregory Peck was taken off the walk near Gower. This time, it wasn't through a construction project, b ...
