Henrietta Lemon didn’t realize her armored knight statue had gone missing Friday morning, but she’s sure glad to have him back.

“He’s kind of sentimental now,” said the Keizer resident.

The statue was returned to Lemon on Saturday morning after she saw it on television and called police to claim it.

The nearly 5-foot-tall statue was taken from Lemon’s front porch Friday morning. It later turned up inside a bus shelter at Wheatland Road and Parkmeadow Drive N.

Keizer police don’t know who stole the statue, said spokesman Capt. Jeff Kuhns. Lemon’s attitude: no harm, no foul.

“They didn’t hurt anything or destroy anything,” she said. “It was just a cute prank.”

Lemon, a real estate agent with Windermere, has had the statue for about a month. One of her friends, a wine distributor, was going to throw it out, so she decided to take it.

Lemon figured it would be the perfect gift for one of her clients, who was looking to buy a dream castle. It was supposed to be a surprise.

“I have no idea what I’m going to do with it now,” Lemon said.
