Mary went missing, but apparently she wasn't in hiding.

A short item from the Associated Press: A $30,000 bronze statue of Mary was pried from its place and stolen last Friday night from Our Lady Queen of Angels Church in Newport Beach, California. Thankfully, she ended up on the lawn of an Orange County home. The homeowner, who is not suspected of being involved in the statuenapping, told police that she returned home from vacation to find Mary there.

Now that would be a surprise! What would you think if you came home to a 4-5 foot statue of Mary on your front law: prank or message from above?
