Um, it doesn't say either where they found it, or who they think took it!

well, it does, but only vaguely:

Police in France said they had been carrying out a search related to a fraud case when they happened to stumble upon the bust of the frontman of the Doors.

Rumours swirled over what might have happened: some spoke of two fans who had managed to cart off the bust, reportedly weighing 128kg, on a moped in the middle of the night; others repeated the seemingly baseless claim that authorities had hidden the sculpture in order to protect it.

at least they found it haha

Man, we Americans get no respect. We go to another country to replace something that been stolen and we get arrested for it. If I didn't have back problems, I'd go dig up Jim's coffin myself and bring it back to America where it belongs. 🤨

I'm betting that the hard rock cafe buy it
