Stolen cupcake-carrying nun scarecrow found - Update

A cupcake-carrying nun scarecrow which was stolen from outside its owner's home has been found.

The "Cupcake, Vicar?" scarecrow, or Sister Mary, was displayed in Caythorpe, Nottinghamshire. It was taken from outside the home of owner Julia Cons, who offered cupcakes as a reward.



PCSO Keith Crowhurst came across the cupcake-carrying nun six miles away in George's Lane, Calverton. Mrs Cons said she was surprised the scarecrow had been found.

"We were really upset to have her stolen and never imagined we would get her back," she said. She said the scarecrow would be returning to her spot outside the house with a sign saying: "Keep your hands off Sister Mary's cupcakes."
