The query sent out by officials from Savannah, Ga., was indignant and urgent.

“Who did this?!” the City of Savannah Government posted to its Facebook page Thursday.
“This” was an act illustrated by two photos: Somebody had placed “googly eyes” on a statue of Nathanael Greene, a Revolutionary War general buried in the city’s historic Johnson Square.
From afar, the craft-store stick-on eyes were barely visible. Up close, though, they rendered Greene’s monument almost comically alive.
Savannah officials seemed to acknowledge the effect, but they also try to nip public reaction to it in the bud.
“It may look funny but harming our historic monuments and public property is no laughing matter,” city officials wrote. “In fact, it’s a crime.”
