A heinous series of crimes has been perpetrated in Bend, Oregon. Law officials are uncertain if the incidents are the work of one individual or some manner of twisted gang activity. No matter the source, the crimes entail wrongdoers attaching googly eyes to the city's beloved sculptures. To date, oversized plastic eyes have been attached to eight public art installations.
City officials are most concerned
with the adhesives used to affix some of the eyes to the sculptures, as these
may lead to permanent damage to the metal if left untreated. On the other side
of this issue, a certain collection of citizens finds the addition of googly
eyes amusing.
I must admit, I’m ambivalent about
this type of crime—except in the case of the globe. I think the eyes make for
some pretty good stuff there.

Deer in the headlights? I actually really like this one. The globe is OK, but the deer one is a real pun as well.
