Happy Ending of the Day: A coastguard search for a body allegedly spotted near Old Portsmouth, Hants, turned up something rather unexpected: A life-size replica of E.T.
The giant doll, which scared the bejesus out of a beach-goer, was stolen from the home of 76-year-old Margaret Wells in September of last year. “The police rang and said somebody has found a body in the Solent and it belongs to you – it’s E.T.,” Wells said.
The model was handmade by Wells’s daughter nearly a decade ago.
“He has lost a finger and looks a bit roughed up. But he has a smile on his face,” she said. “I always knew E.T. would come home.”
