After exiting the restroom on March 4, Kuharic noticed the Putti with Pan statue was missing. His first thought was the wind blew it off the roof. After inspecting the premise, he realized it was something more sinister. “I quickly realized it was nowhere to be found, so I contacted the Georgetown police,” he said.
