hmmm... someone could set up a "fake museum" just for baiting...

Hi there everyone:

I'm new to WIX, nice to be here - and happy to report that almost everything has been recovered by the museum. Thanks to the local media coverage it must have made it tough for the fool(s) who took the items to do anything with them, so a few days ago the museum received a call saying the stolen items were in a big plastic garbage bag that had been dropped off right near the museum buildings. A quick search found the items. Local media is saying that the thief(s) kept a TV that had been taken, but oddly, returned the remote for it apparently!

Cheers,
John

Awesome, great ending! This obviously illustrates the power of media. It's influence is HUGE in life. Politics, wars, and major social issues have been decided because of media.

So, were any of the items damaged at all?
