A rather elegant Bird Bath/Statue was stolen from the garden last night.

point in calling the Police ?

Certainly. It's unlikely to have been the only theft in the area and
if it turns up with other stolen goods you will have a chance of
getting it back.
If you don't report it you have no chance at all.
