The mother of a girl whose tiara was taken from her grave has reported the treasured item has been returned.
The Gold Coast family of three-year-old Brittany Conway, who died after swallowing a button battery, were left devastated when the keepsake went missing from a locked glass-front box attached to her grave last month.

“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.
