Bananas!
According to
The Canadian Press, someone cut Gregory Peck's star out of the sidewalk.
"They just left a big hole out there," said Johnny Grant, 82, who serves as Hollywood's honorary mayor and oversees ceremonies honouring star recipients. "Somebody went out there with a cement saw and carved it out of the black terrazzo." Peck's star is the fourth star to be stolen since the Walk of Fame was begun in 1960. Some 2,200 stars are now part of the walkway.
Peck's star was part of the original group of some 1,500 set into Hollywood sidewalks before it was officially dedicated in 1960. It apparently disappeared sometime between Nov. 17 and Nov. 22, Grant said.
You'd think someone would hear/notice someone breaking the concrete with a cement saw to remove the star.

sounds like a good plot for a heist movie.
