Fox News
After months of investigation, a World War II-era ship bell that was stolen in the wake of an Oregon wildfire was returned to its owners.
"This bell had been obtained through proper channels by a serviceman upon the decommissioning of the U.S.S. Kermit Roosevelt," in 1959, the Lane County Sheriff's Office said, according to KCBY-TV in Eugene. "This bell is one of a kind and invaluable to its owners." Looters had combed through some homes after residents were evacuated as the devastating wildfires spread last year, FOX 12 reported.More Related News
