“I was so angry to think someone had taken something so precious, taken it out of somewhere so sacred,” Brittany’s mother Lorraine Conway told 7NEWS on July 1.

“If you’re watching this, and you’ve taken it, I don’t hate you — just take it back to her.”

On Tuesday, Conway reported the tiara “was returned back in her lock box”.

“We found it last night … So, so happy,” she wrote on Facebook.

It’s unknown who took or returned the tiara.

The local community rallied around the family after its disappearance, with one small business offering a $1000 reward for information that would lead to its return.
