The MG08 and sledmount in Douglas was removed by a well meaning volunteer about 3 years ago for restoration. I got it from him back in August and had it sandblasted and coated in POR 15 by that weekend. A week later I cemented it back onto the memorial, and the townsfolk have since cleaned up the fence around the centaph.
There are still a few more hiding around Western MB that I have heard of, but at the same time a few more have disappeared. There were a pair of MG08-15s in front of the Holland MB legion, but the guy cutting the grass got tired of cutting around them and so off they went. That was around a decade back.
