News website Vísir this morning reported the unfortunate loss of a fibreglass polar bear, which has now turned up at Reykjavík Zoo (Húsdýragarðurinn). The bear, which stood outside a shop on the main shopping street Laugarvegur, was stolen yesterday in what is thought to have been a well-organised robbery. Four young lads jumped out of a van, grabbed the ursine likeness and drove off with it in tow.

Workers at the Reykajvík Zoo found the bear this morning and let its shopkeeper owner know that it had been recovered. Vísir speculates that the gang who stole the bear intended to help the Best Party maintain their election promise of putting a polar bear in the zoo. We are somewhat inclined to agree.
