ORIGINAL STORY:
ATHENS, GA (WXIA) – There is something visibly missing from a vintage shop in Athens – a ten-foot tall metal rooster.
Out front, Lexington Road is a busy Athens block. Out back, one business is facing a question that has perhaps never been uttered:
"How do you steal a ten-foot rooster?"
Lexington Vintage is the kind of place where a ten-foot metallic rooster wouldn't seem out of place.
