Stolen Ohio Yard Robot Is Returned
Published: June 19, 2009
KETTERING, Ohio—An Ohio family isn’t sure where its robot doll went but is glad to have its unusual yard decoration back.
The 36-inch motorized boy doll was a favorite of 5-year-old Tareece Vann, who named his toy Bubby. The family in the Dayton suburb of Kettering had Bubby chained to a mailbox when he was taken on Tuesday.
Tareece’s mother says Bubby showed up in a neighbor’s driveway Thursday with a trash bag over his head.
Kettering police have advised against putting the robot back at the mailbox, where he might tempt somebody else to nab him.
