This Forgotten Thrift Store WoW Statue Had a Secret No One Expected: And a Happy End!

Starym's Avatar by Starym

Sometimes when you walk into a thrift store, you never know what you’ll find.

It seems that WoW players certainly cannot escape Azeroth, even in the real world. That’s how one player randomly found a custom WoW FigurePrint statue in a glass box. Back in the day, these statues weren’t just decorations, they were memories and years of playing. And this one… this one has a very special story!

Glad-Midnight-1022 discovered this statue with the nameplate Jovia, and instead of keeping it as a cool piece, they decided to find the rightful owner. They were so determined that they even asked the community for help. These statues weren’t cheap back in the mid-2000s, and most of us wouldn’t want to lose such a piece.

The Twist

A few days passed. The post blew up, and the community rallied with ideas – to post it on TikTok, share it in Facebook groups, search the armory, even examine the mog for clues. A few days later, an update arrived: the original owner had been found.

The statue had a much darker story than someone might have anticipated. It was stolen from a storage unit years ago before ending up at the thrift store.

The person had contacted me through a Facebook post that was made. The statue had been stolen from a storage unit. I want to thank everyone for their help and giving me ideas how to find the person
I’m just glad it can get back to its rightful owner. – Glad-Midnight-1022

Thanks to Facebook shares and the WoW community, the owner was contacted, and the memories tied to Jovia were finally on their way home. In an era where the internet can feel heavy, this was the kind of story players needed!
