The mystery behind a viral prank has been unveiled after sparking a controversy in Bend, Oregon.
Locals in the community began spotting googly eyes plastered onto different sculptures around the city.
In December, City of Bend officials took to Facebook to ward off whoever was behind the prank.
Keith is the founder of Guardian Group, which is a local non-profit that works to combat human trafficking.
He added, "It is a place for me to cope with some pretty heavy stuff."
"Is this [Bend's] biggest concern," one asked.
Another added, "Adhesive ain't gonna hurt metal."
"I'm pro-googly eye," one joked.
A user agreed, posting, "I really love the pro-googly eye stance Bend is taking."
Eight sculptures were "pranked" and the work to remove the googly eyes will cost $1,500, the AP reported.
Fox News Digital reached out to the City of Bend for comment.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
