Christine Engel of River Falls is seeking the public's help in finding four bear lawn ornaments that were stolen from her yard. They are extremely important to her as they represent four children she has lost. "This is way darker than my bears were, mine are light brown with the fourth one a slight different brown. Although mine did have the wings, halo and cross necklace," Engel said. Anyone with information should contact the River Falls Police Department.
