Ryan Reynolds, now $5,000 less rich, celebrates return of Vancouver woman's beloved teddy bear

In a world known primarily for its bad endings, we’ll take a good one when it surfaces. Last week, Ryan Reynolds alerted his millions of fans to a Vancouver woman’s lost teddy bear, which contained within it a recording of her late mother’s voice saying she loves and is proud of her. It was lost while Mara Soriano was moving, and security footage showed the bag containing the bear was, in fact, stolen.
Now, Reynolds (and CBC) are here to report that the bear is again safe and sound in the arms of its owner, having been found in Vancouver’s Strathcona Park. “[T]hank you everyone who searched high and low,” Reynolds wrote while retweeting a photo of Soriano with the bear. “To the person who took the bear, thanks for keeping it safe. Vancouver is awesome.”
