Jesus held hostage over dog droppings

Some Oakfield Township residents have taken what's not theirs to prove a point.

Anonymous residents on Lindy Lane claim Jean Mansel isn't picking up after her dogs, so to entice her to do so, they took something close to her heart. Those residents say their Mansel's wiener dogs leave their leavings in their yard.

So, they stole her 80 pound statue of Jesus.



Then they sent a ransom note. The note reads: "We are holding Jesus ransom until you clean up the poopie from your wieners and trust us we see you take your wieners for long walks w/out picking up their poopie in our yards. This has upset us dearly so please clean up all the weiner poopie, if you want to see Jesus unharmed. Sincerely, Lindy Lane Residents."

Jean has four wiener dogs and admits there was a complaint last year about their leavings. But she says she's cleaned up every pile since.

Now, Jean just wants her statue back, and says she won't press charges if Jesus isn't harmed.
