MORAVIA, Iowa (AP) -
Authorities in southern Iowa are asking for help in finding a large solid bronze deer statue missing from some property near Moravia.
The Daily Iowegian newspaper in Centerville says the Appanoose County sheriff's office says the statue was stolen late Wednesday or early Thursday.
The statue, called "Swamp Jumpers," depicts a large buck and doe. It's 6-feet tall and 8 feet wide and weighs about 1,500 pounds.
It was created by a Montana artist for the owner of a management group who owns property in the area.
