Stuffed animal left on vacation returns to metro girl's arms
SHAWNEE, Kan. — One Kansas City metro girl's prized possession was recently left behind while her family was on vacation in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Thanks to her aunt and uncle, along with a little luck, she's now got her stuffed giraffe back at home. Annabelle's giraffe even has her name on the front. As it goes with her everywhere, you can imagine the devastation when she found out she'd left it behind. NASCAR celebrates Mother's Day at Kansas Speedway for the first time 'We were on our way home on the airplane, and I literally had that home alone moment on the plane. And I was like, Oh my gosh, where is giraffe?' said her mother, Natalie Vigder. To Annabelle's dismay, her friend for life was left behind. 'Annabel was so upset, disappointed and sad, crying on the airplane. As soon as I told her, I didn't think I had giraffe,' Vigder continued. Natalie posted in a Facebook group for the resort they had stayed at. Thursday night, it popped up on one woman's feed, who had family staying at the resort. 'And I'm like, 'Oh my goodness, we can make this reunion happen,'' said Tiffany Morche-Larue. Tiffany's aunt and uncle would then pick up the giraffe from the resort, as it would've cost hundreds to get it back to Annabelle. 'I know how important little stuffies can be for kids, and we wanted to be able to make the reunion happen,' said Sandy Allen. Not only did Sandy bring the giraffe back, but she also documented the entire journey. 'She would post some of the pictures that I had that I feel like we got to really make a big deal out of this so that Annabel can see every place that her giraffe went,' Allen said. For Annabelle's mom, it's an act of kindness she'll never forget. 'While we've been a little emotional a few times over the past week, and I just owe her my daughter's happiness,' she said. Final week of Missouri Legislature; first American pope elected Allen says it was a chance to show kindness to complete strangers. 'Make a difference in someone's life instead of all the evil that's out there. Be some of the good things that are happening in this world,' she said. Despite having a great time on the detour back to Annabelle's arms, Giraffe is on the way back to Annebelle Monday morning. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

People shocked by bizarre items found in every room of a 'normal' detached house on sale for £305k
A four-bedroom house on a quiet cul-de-sac has just gone on sale - but potential buyers face a shock if they look around the home for a viewing. From the outside, there is nothing out of the ordinary about the detached suburban property in Northallerton, North Yorkshire. And in the current market a four-bedroom detached house for £305,000 is a deal many buyers would think about making. However, despite the reasonable price, there's one unexpected feature that will grab the attention of prospective buyers. Many people may have kept their childhood teddy bear as a keepsake or to pass down to their own kids but this homeowner has taken it to a new level. Taking to TikTok, @HousingHorrors took a look around the home which is filled to the brim with stuffed animal toys. One of the bedrooms has a cabinet full of teddy bears of all different sizes, designs and colours. As if that wasn't enough, there are even more bears in home's three other bedrooms as well as the living room. It's not just teddy bears as if you look closely enough you can spot a number of other stuffed toy animals as well as several baby dolls. The overwhelming toy collection is mainly however teddy bears and is sure to cause a shock to anyone who takes a look inside. 'I have never seen so many teddy bears inside a house in my entire life,' the TikToker said: 'Upon first glance it does look pretty normal and then you get into the bedroom and "oh my days", look at all those eyes staring at you. 'Imagine going on a date and bringing a girl back for the first time and she goes into this room and all those eyes are staring at her. 'If she hated teddy bears she would be running out of that door straight away.' The TikToker added: 'But it does not end there because in this second bedroom there is even more bears and they are absolutely everywhere.' He went on to question whether the collection included rare editions and if the toy were being kept to back a 'quick buck'. 'Honestly bears have just taken over this place,' he adds before finishing the video by saying 'you can't get away from them'.
