Beloved Mannequin Mascot Stolen from South African Town

A strange mystery has gripped a South African town after sticky-fingered miscreants made off with the community's unlikely mascot: a mannequin dubbed 'Beverly.' The endearing doll, seen below, was reportedly placed in a dam on the outskirts of Nieu-Bethesda around two years ago by local artist Ryno Greef. Since being installed in the pool of water, the mannequin became a beloved presence in the community as she amusingly welcomed visitors to the town. However, sadness descended upon Nieu-Bethesda this past weekend when residents woke up to discover that Beverly was gone.
