AMELIA, Ohio (AP) — Raggedy Ann and Andy smiled and waved to visitors outside a store for two years before vanishing earlier this week.
Their absence Tuesday morning might not have raised many eyebrows, except that this Raggedy Ann and Andy aren't dolls, but two 5-foot tall, 200-pound fiberglass statues.
A police investigator is trying to determine who may have taken the statues, which store owner Dave St. Clair considers landmarks.
"Everybody knows our store by them," St. Clair said. He and his wife own Just 4 Fun, which sells pool tables, game tables, slot machines and other recreational items.
The statues, valued at $1,200 each, were custom-made in the 1960s for a New Jersey amusement park, St. Clair said. Though they might have been stolen as a prank, he said, he and his wife aren't laughing.
