Stolen Amelia Earhart Statue Found in Canada

An Amelia Earhart statue stolen from a Canadian town in April has been recovered in rather rough shape. Since 2007, the beloved bronze piece depicting the pioneering aviator has been a point of pride in the community of Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, where she embarked on her historic 1932 transatlantic flight. That all changed a few months ago when residents woke up to discover that some brazen bandits had made off with the sizeable statue and its accompanying plaque in the dead of night. At the time, the town's mayor lamented that the theft "devastated" the community. However, there is now cause for celebration as the pilfered piece has been found.
