BEDFORD COUNTY (WSLS10) - Work is now underway to re-create the "LOVE" sculpture stolen before it's unveiling at Smith Mountain Lake.

The Roanoke artist told us the letters stolen from his driveway have yet to be returned. Now, he plans to start over from scratch. The artist was commissioned to create a sign as part of the 'Virginia is for Lovers' campaign.
