Tuesday night, two teen-agers returned the cement statue to Connie and Wally Harris, saying they had found it in the parking lot of Stanton High School.

Connie Harris said her husband bought the ornament about 13 years ago. They've kept it well-painted with a purple body, white hands and feet, black arms and legs, orange sunglasses, red lips, black eyelashes and a green base.
