Googly eye bandit is wanted in Georgia for defacing monument

Googly eyes are hilarious. Put some googly eyes on literally anything and people are going to have a good time.

Unless it's the city government of Savannah, Georgia we're talking about. To them, googly eyes are no laughing matter -- at least not googly eyes placed on a historic statue.

The City of Savannah Government Facebook page posted photos on Thursday of a monument of American Revolutionary War figure Nathanael Greene with googly eyes plastered to his face. Accompanying the hilarious photos was a message decrying the act of vandalism and informing the public that this is in fact a crime.

The googly eyes allegedly caused harm to the statue, which has withstood years of weather and who knows what else at its outdoor location in Johnson Square.

If the googly eye bandit that did this is found, they could face a charge of criminal trespassing, according to local news site Savannah Now. The reason why it's being taken seriously is because this is a monument to a deceased person who served in the military.

Greene, who died in Georgia in 1786, was a major general under George Washington in the Continental Army. He started as a self-trained soldier who organized a local militia in Boston and eventually came to command the southern theater.

If the damage to Greene's statue is found in excess of $500, the googly eye bandit could be hit with felony charges.

And nothing takes the fun out of googly eyes like criminal charges.
