After some high-profile retweeting of her plea, Mara Soriano once again has the teddy bear that talks like her mother.
The stuffed animal was stolen last week while Soriano and her fiance were unloading a U-Haul trailer outside their new Vancouver home. It had special sentimental value: It played a recording made by Soriano’s mother shortly before she died last year of cancer at age 53.“It said she loved me, she was proud of me, and she’ll always be with me,” Soriano told CNN. “I hugged it every time I missed her.”
Security video showed a man grabbing the bag that contained the bear and walking away.
When CBC reported the story, actor Ryan Reynolds — a proud Vancouverite — offered a reward. “Vancouver: $5,000 to anyone who returns this bear to Mara,” he tweeted Saturday. “Zero questions asked. I think we all need this bear to come home.”
Canadian TV personality George Stroumboulopoulos and Kraft Peanut Butter also pitched in $5,000 each. Other celebrities including Dan Levy and Zach Braff tweeted their sentiments in hopes of reuniting Soriano with the bear.
In a tweet Wednesday, Soriano happily proclaimed the return of the bear by two men who said they’d found it in a park. It no longer had its glasses — a replica of Marilyn Soriano’s signature pair — but it still had her voice.
Reynolds wired the reward money to the men, and Soriano said she contacted Stroumboulopoulos and Kraft to fulfill their pledges.
“Thank you everyone who searched high and low,” Reynolds tweeted Wednesday. “To the person who took the bear, thanks for keeping it safe. Vancouver is awesome.”
