Wonder Bear, a beloved Jersey Shore mascot, is back home with its rightful owners after parts of the bear were swiped by thieves more than a week ago.

Gillian's Wonderland Pier in Ocean City tells NBC10's Ted Greenberg that the stolen parts were returned yesterday and a man received a $500 reward for bringing the bear back home.

On July 14, workers found only Wonder Bear's head, feet and one hand after burglars broke into a room where the costume was stored. The mascot's torso and other hand were taken by the thieves.

Gillian's says the man found the missing mascot's parts in a dumpster.

Wonder Bear is now being dry cleaned before he'll take his place back on the boardwalk.

I really hope that the thieves took loads of photos of it in various sexual positions before dumping it.

Not sure if this is a really bad PR stunt or just Jersey.

I think it's really disturbing that the news article doesn't clarify that this is in fact a costume, and not a real bear, until halfway through the story. Yes, there is a picture, but if it doesn't show then it appears there's some serial killer on the loose dismembering bears and leaving behind body parts as messages.

On another note, if anybody decides to use this idea in any way I want some form of credit.
