The century old statue of President William McKinley stands in the Arcata Plaza in Arcata, Calif., in this undated photo. The statue has long been a target for pranksters. Vandals have used cheese, condoms and marijuana to abuse the likeness of the 25th president, an Ohio native. Last month, Michael Schleyer an Arcata resident presented city officials with 1,300 signatures on a petition seeking to remove the statue there. Some have suggested sending the statue to the family of the man who commissioned it or to the Wm. McKinley Presidential Library & Museum in Canton, Ohio. (AP Photo/The Times-Standard, Shaun Walker)
