Bob is back and Bakersfield breathes a sigh of relief

High drama in Bakersfield when the statue of Bob at the new Bob's Big Boy franchise on Ming Avenue was stolen by three hooded teenagers a few weeks ago. Well, a woman returned Bob, wrapped in a blanket in the back of her truck, and handed him over to manager Fran Smith this morning. Bob is fine, save for a hairline crack on his head, and he is safely inside the lobby.
