Whoever stole a much-loved carved wooden bear from a Belmar man has returned the item.  "I came out about 9 a.m. this morning and there it was," Jon Gibbons told <a href="http://www.nj.com/monmouth/index.ssf/2016/09/nj_man_awakens_to_return_of_carved_bear_that_was_l.html#incart_river_home" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">nj.com</a> on Sunday. "There was no note or anything. Maybe somebody had a flash of conscience." The little bear was a gift from Gibbons wife Meg, before she died of cancer.  Gibbons had offered a $100 reward for the bear, which was taken from his porch at 18th Avenue and Laurel Terrace in Belmar around Sept. 1.  "It was devastating to lose that bear," he said. "I was stupid to leave it out on the porch. It's very important to me. It's very gratifying to have it back. Yesterday afternoon, about a half dozen people walked by my house and mentioned how much they liked the bear. I had no idea it had such an affect on people."  Earlier story:  No questions asked.  Belmar resident Jon Gibbons needs the public's help in finding a little wood-carved bear that someone stole from his front porch sometime around Sept. 1.              "This article is precious to me, so I am writing to give the above reward for its return, or information leading to its return, no questions asked," he posted on the Belmar Police Department's Facebook page. "It was a gift from my wife, Meg, who succumbed to cancer."             Gibbons lives at 513 18th Avenue, on the corner of 18th and Laurel Terrace.            You can contact Jon at 732-681-5548 or e-mail him at jon1806@hotmail.com.      Image: Courtesy of Jon Gibbons and the Belmar police department.
