A missing sea monster carousel figurine stolen has been recovered by a Connecticut theme park after it was stolen a staggering 40 years ago. The remarkable reunion was revealed in a press release from the Quassy Amusement Park on Monday. Known as a 'hippocampus' in carousel enthusiast circles, the ornate figurine had been a fixture at the site for a whopping 70 years before it mysteriously vanished in 1985. Decades of hoping that the pilfered piece would turn up somewhere finally came to fruition for the park's owners when they received an unexpected tip from an antique broker who had a hot tip on the long-lost sea monster.
