We can all sleep easy now that the missing bust of Colonel Sanders from Berea has been found.
A $1,200 bronze bust of Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Colonel Harland Sanders is back, more than two months after it was reported stolen from the KFC in Berea, Ky.
Berea police Capt. Ken Clark says the bust was apparently taken as a prank. Police in Independence, about 115 miles away, found it at an address given by a tipster.
Jean Anderson, who owns the Berea KFC building with her husband, Les, says she is thrilled to have the bust back and isn’t interested in pressing charges.
For now, the bust has not been placed back display at the store.
KFC had offered $500 worth of grilled chicken for the statue’s return, but Clark says the tipster isn’t interested in a reward.
Is it an insult to KFC that the tipster doesn’t want free chicken?

Would you want to eat $500 of KFC chicken?
