This time someone stole the fishing rods that Sheriff Andy Taylor and his son Opey carried down to the fishing hole.
It was just last month that the plaque was taken from the statue as well. It still has not been recovered.
The statue was erected just six months ago commemorating the Andy Griffith Show.
