GERMANTOWN, Tenn. (AP) -- Germantown police are trying to find out who's responsible for decapitating a statue of the Virgin Mary at a local church.
Father Edwin Creary told WMC-TV in Memphis he discovered the statue when he arrived at Our Lady of Perpetual Help last week. He said it's been a part of the church for over 50 years.
Investigators believe someone put a rope around the large statue and pulled it down with a car.
A smaller statue of baby Jesus was also pulled over.
Church leaders say they will replace the statues with new ones if they can't be repaired.

If these people responsible for this had a job, they would have more respect.
