Stolen 24-foot inflatable cow returned to Phoenix Chick-fil-A

PHOENIX, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Local authorities said a giant inflatable cow stolen from a Phoenix Chick-fil-A was located and returned to the restaurant.

Phoenix Police Department shared a photo of a pair of Chick-fil-A employees with the 350-pound, 24-foot tall decoration after they managed to help bring the cow home.
