Authorities in Georgia said a Br’er Rabbit statue stolen last week from a museum was found damaged and is undergoing repairs. Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills said the statue, stolen from the grounds of the Uncle Remus Museum in Eatonton on August 7th, was found in a wooded area outside of the city on Monday. Sills said the 250-pound statue sustained some damage, including having its pipe broken off. Authorities expect to arrest four suspects as soon as they catch them. Br’er Rabbit appeared in numerous “Uncle Remus” stories penned by author Joel Chandler Harris in the 1870s.
