The Statue was found!

The Fisherman statue was found, although it was in pieces.

From WLOX-TV:

"Sometime between Sunday and Tuesday, the golden fisherman had been taken from Point Cadet and sliced into five pieces. Thanks to a tip called in to the Mobile County Sheriff's Office, authorities found the statue, and grand larceny suspect Herman Alan Hicks.

They also found the apparent reason the golden statue was in Alabama.

"Indirectly we understand that he's been coming over to this area and collecting scrap metals and taking them on back and selling them....""
