Geneva on the Web: The Return of the 25-Inch Goose!
A thief with a conscience? Power of the press? It's not every day you see an item returned to its owner.
Scooped by Brenda Schory again!
It's tough enough to get beat on the hard-news stories, but when the excellent Kane County Chronicle gets there first on an item of this magnitude, well, we just have to give credit to superior reporting.
The Chron is reporting that "The Curious Case of the Wearing a Fourth of July Dress" has been solved, anonymously and magnanimously.

As you recall, the goose ornament was taken from a front yard of a home in the 100 block of North Bridgeport Lane sometime between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. Aug. 10, according to Geneva police reports.
The owners, identified as Clarence and Barbara Herman, told the Chronicle that they looked out the door on Friday and Gladys was back, safe and sound on her pedestal.

The goose, which incidentally was wearing a Fourth of July dress (Gladys apparently likes to dress for the appropriate holidays), did not lay the golden egg, but its return, for the Herman family, was surely as good as gold.
