Stolen bust of former President Obama has been returned

CROAKER, Va. (WAVY) — A missing bust from a presidential line-up in Croaker has been returned.

Earlier this week, a small 50 pound bust of former President Barack Obama was stolen from Howard Hankins’ farm in Croaker.


Hankins says someone returned the sculpture following that report. “Thank you to everyone. This has renewed my faith in mankind,” he said.

There are 43 big busts sitting on Hankins’ farm that used to sit in “President’s Park” in Williamsburg until it closed in 2010.
