LOST: much loved army teddy - Kelly (9th Nov 2011 - 19:35:34) Whilst crossing the Headley Road, near the Co-op on Wednesday night at around 6pm, my 6 year old son dropped his much loved army teddy... We waited on the pavement for a gap in the traffic to go & pick it up, but to my horror, a car drove over it, the teddy got stuck underneath and disappeared up the road. (Sounds quite funny now, but wasn't at the time... Very upset son!) It's a 'Help for heroes' teddy, wearing an army desert shirt. If anybody should find it (in whatever state) could they please let me know. Many thanks Kelly

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Barry (10th Nov 2011 - 08:36:53) Hi I know it sounds silly but there was a policeman with a teddy out side Lloyds bank around 5 ish last night. Hope you find him perhaps ring whitehill police station. Barry Anchor Garage (the Renault Garage)

RETURNED: much loved army teddy - Kelly (10th Nov 2011 - 14:10:18) Hi there Not silly at all, as the policeman handed it into A3 sports where a friend spotted it in the window and I went and got the teddy this morning. Thanks all round, a happy boy once more! Kelly

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Charley (10th Nov 2011 - 19:23:03) My children will be so pleased when I tell them the Teddy found his way home! We drove past it in the road last night, and they were very worried about him and who he might belong to!

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Editor (14th Nov 2011 - 09:25:43) Here is a picture of 'John' after his incredible adventure..

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Hilary (14th Nov 2011 - 12:38:39) Do we know who the 'Hero' policeman is? He should be named!!!

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Jaybee (14th Nov 2011 - 18:32:21) I propose that the policeman concerned should be awarded the "Queens Medal For Distinction Service" This thread would provide a ideal story line for a childrens video. Come on. You local film makers give it a try I am willing to help.; From, past emails:-I know you are out there

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Jane G (14th Nov 2011 - 20:36:13) I can't help with a video but I have written a poem about teddy'ss escapade.... John the teddy was oh so brave And to a young boy such pleasure he gave But nobody knew on a trip to the shop That teddy would need to be saved by a cop John was a brave bear, medals on chest Who cuddled and loved his owner the best A trip to the Co-op one cold Autumn night And teddy gave all of Liphook a fright John fell to the road in his brown desert shirt And rolled and rolled around in the dirt He waited and waited as cars whizzed on by And John saw his owner beginning to cry The traffic was heavy, the cars were too fast And John's little owner feared for the worst Then all of a sudden the bear disappeared Picked up by a car, the worst he had feared The car drove away with John underneath Tossed and turned like an Autumnal leaf And nobody knew where teddy had gone Or if he would be away for long But there was a website that saved the day It was known by the name of Liphook UK The owner did post to please look around As there was a teddy that had to be found So reports came in from everywhere To say that John had been spotted in The Square Near to the garage and then Lloyds Bank And then locals seemed to draw quite a blank John's owner was feeling so very upset No teddy to hug or cuddles to get A policeman was spotted carrying a bear But where did he take him, where oh where? A picture was posted of a similar bear But shockingly he had no underwear! But people of Liphook still looked for John And wondered where on earth he had gone But A3 Sports did save the day By putting the teddy on display The bear had been saved by a friendly cop Who had decided to give him in to the shop An arm in a sling and a bandaged head But John could again be taken to bed And never again would he venture away He'd save his travels for another day!

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Jay (14th Nov 2011 - 21:32:07) Brilliant Jane G!! Looks like the Editor is having fun dressing up teddy as well - maybe a trip to Build a Bear is in order for Christmas? Picture was supplied by John's guardian.

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Kelly (17th Nov 2011 - 11:38:28) Dear Jane G What a brilliant poem! I will print this out to be kept with John. This website is fantastic, my thanks go to everyone who was concerned for John's well being and for all the support we have had since finding him. Should anyone want to take John's story further, the editor has my email for contact!! Many thanks to you all. Kelly

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Karen Feeney (17th Nov 2011 - 14:11:19) Kelly I am fully expecting him to have his own float at next year's Carnival! Karen x

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Jane G (18th Nov 2011 - 11:54:03) Kelly..glad you liked the poem. I was in a similar situation with my daughter (now 15) once when she left her beloved 'bunny' in a trolley outside Sainsburys. Luckily the bunny was still there when we returned, and is still part of the household!

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Jay (19th Nov 2011 - 22:34:18) Jane, My Mum left my SISTER in her pram outside Liptons grocers(now the chemist I think) and luckily SHE was still there when my Mum went back - and is still part of our family! No need to report to childline or social services - my sister is in her 40's.

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Lucy Rowan (23rd Nov 2011 - 07:34:34) Have followed story of John's fate with bated breath - hurrah for a happy ending. Reminds me of when I was little and on the way back from a beach holiday in Normandy to the ferry port - suddenly realised my teddy was missing. My father put in a Formula 1 performance in his Morris Minor and we arrived back at the beach just in time to snatch teddy from the advancing waves - phew! Long live heroic tales of bears.

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Kelly (27th Nov 2011 - 10:36:42) I know, isn't it great! I am thinking of writing up the epic tale of lost teddy John! Kelly

Re: LOST: much loved army teddy - Jane G (27th Nov 2011 - 12:00:52) Kelly good idea....how about an illustrated book of lost and found teddy stories for children?
