In front of the Cleveland Museum of Art sits a bronze cast of Rodin's "The Thinker."
"You'll notice his feet have been blown away," says Dr. Susan Streeter Carpenter, a Cleveland native and assistant professor of English at Bluffton University. A nearby plaque notes the defacement is "the work of vandals" and adds, "The vandals were never found."
