The White Fence Farm restaurant and park in Lakewood is no longer sheepless.

“The sheep are coming home,” owner Charlie Wilson said.

Thieves stole two bronze sheep sculptures worth tens of thousands of dollars from the bucolic grounds of the famed fried-chicken eatery in July to sell as scrap metal.

A suspect was arrested later that month, but only one decapitated piece of bronze was recovered. The alleged thief had tried to pass it off as a bronze cow at a metal-recycling yard.

Wilson said he commissioned replica sheep statuary, plus a turtle, from the original artist and is installing them on the 12-acre estate today.
