Vandals who beheaded a statue of a Union soldier in Shirley apparently have had a change of heart. Over the weekend the perpetrators left the granite head on a stone cemetery wall near the town common, where the memorial statue has stood for nearly 120 years.
The head went missing two weeks ago, enraging the community. But authorities said they were more interested in recovering the severed head than prosecuting the offenders, and called upon those responsible to make amends. To the relief of town officials, their appeal was answered.
No word on whether the perpetrator responsible rode a skateboard or carried a slingshot...
That is all.

It embiggens a petty vandal to return a statue's head.
