Judging from the title of the story, I'm guessing Archie failed to stop it, even though he has mastered the power of levitation, since it's "Missing." Give the thieves credit for one thing: they managed to pry a statue off its base and fly it away even though it should have tipped forward, fallen out of the sling, pulled down the front of the 'copter, and angled the helicopter blades into the pavement, showering the street with deadly shards of metal.

On another note: Pink pants. Brown belt. Wonderful fashion they had in those days.

On yet another note: wouldn't one emphasize "Helicopter" instead of Statue? Which one of those two don't you see every day?
