Margaret Wells lost her life-size E.T. replica when her England home was robbed in 2011. It was made by her daughter as part of a stage makeup class. Several months later, a beach-goer saw it floating in the surf and didn’t realize what it was. She thought it was a dead body so she called the police, and they quickly realized it was quite the unique alien model. Wells said, “There’s only one in the whole of England and that is mine. I always knew E.T. would come home.”
