MILWAUKEE —
An organization of religious art dealers has turned to the Internet to recover 19 rare statues stolen from churches across Wisconsin this month.
The National Church Goods Assn. posted a list of the icons stolen from congregations since Nov. 9 on its Web site to inform dealers to be on the lookout.
The statues are generally made of cast fiberglass or plaster and are worth thousands of dollars.
