LAMAR, Missouri (AP) — A valuable statue stolen in 1987 from Wichita State University has been recovered in southwestern Missouri, and one man is under arrest.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the bronze bust of American poet Robert Frost by famed sculptor Walker Hancock is currently valued at about $25,000. News reports from 1987 indicate the statue was one of three stolen early that year from an outdoor collection on the campus of the Kansas school.

Yeah, we can blame SwoMo. From the Branson Times:

--Jonny Ray was bound and determined that night 25 years ago. He had enough with the cold winters hindering his moonshine and cooking business. He needed an change, and to make that change he needed leverage.

"I jus says to meself, Joseph, I mean Jonny Ray, what can I's do to get back at Jack Frost", he said. Then it hit him. Needless to say, the plan didnt work.--
