TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Two metal sculptures of a goat and
10-foot spear that were stolen from the NorthRiver Yacht Club in
mid-December were returned to the owners after the items were found
at the Sigma Pi fraternity house at the University of Alabama.
A Tuscaloosa police spokesman said a university employee was
doing a routine housing inspection at the Sigma Pi house at about 3
p.m. yesterday (Wednesday) when the statues were found. Authorities
said the items were stolen between December 14th and 19th.
A phone message left with the fraternity's recruitment chair
wasn't immediately returned today.
Police said the spear, valued at more than $1,000, could have
been moved by one person. But, the goat, valued at more than
$16,000, weighs several hundred pounds and would have required
three or four people to move it.
Police have not been able to question fraternity members because
students are out of school for the holidays.
