Other plaques that are currently missing in the East Village

A tipster tells us that someone swiped the bronze Christodora House plaque outside the building at 143 Avenue B at Ninth Street... it has been missing, we're told, since at least June 25...
We're not sure how old the plaque is/was outside the 16-floor building, which was built in 1928 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. 

This is the latest plaque to go missing in the East Village in recent weeks (see here ... and here... and here). 

H/T Cecil Scheib for the older plaque photo

    I bet there's a NYU Frat with all these on their wall

    Pretty sure Christodora has security cams , not sure if they can see that spot but hopefully they have the crime on camera!

    I do wish that when the plaque on 105 Second Avenue gets put back that it explicitly references The Saint as well as Fillmore East. I'd make a case that as The Saint that building mattered at least as much to our local history, if not more.
