Now there is only one. The sheep and lamb have disappeared this month, Jan Lundquist, the church's secretary, said today.

Lundquist was flabbergasted that someone would stoop to pilfering the replicas of barnyard animals. "What is somebody going to do, put one of these in their living room?''

I think that either PETA types kidnapped them and tried to return them to the wild or some homeless person thought they were free lamb chops still on the hoof.

The Californication angle is just too much for me to contemplate.
