EL WINGADOR's Throne Returned

Philadelphia- Feb 10, 2005: First The Theme Factory of Philadelphia would like to thank the entire Philadelphia area media, especially Dan Gross, Fox News 29, and 610WIP. We would have never recovered the throne if not for your help. We'd also like to thank the City of Philadelphia Police Dept. for taking our case seriously.

The Throne was recovered last night, after it was spotted and reported to the channel 6 tip line. It was left on the steps of the art museum with a note on it. Michael Steinberg, El Wingador's agent, got to the scene and confirmed that it was the King of Wings' Throne. It is now safely back at The Theme Factory warehouse, were it can be repaired from the damaged caused during it's wild adventure. The Throne was seen walking down Pattison ave, riding in a gold pickup truck, dancing at the Oasis, and then sitting on the art museum steps. I'm sure this would be the most exciting few days in the life of any chair. The additions made to the throne, the signage, and the platform were not recovered, but we are glad to have the throne back. The damage is estimated between $300-$400 and the platform is valued around $700. We'll never quite figure out the mystery of its disappearance but thank you everyone for your help. Only in Philadelphia could such a bizarre series of events occur.
