The mystery of the missing Jaromir Jagr bobbleheads has been solved.
The Pittsburgh Penguins announced Monday that the team secured the truckload of stolen Jagr bobbleheads and plans to begin distributing the promotional items at a home game on April 6.
A shipment carrying bobbleheads of the franchise icon was stolen after arriving in California back on March 14.
The Penguins say they were notified last week that a cargo recovery team negotiated the return of the stolen property to a secure warehouse in Ontario, Calif.
The team had intended to give the bobbleheads away to fans during a home game against the San Jose Sharks. Instead, the club gave fans a voucher that would allow them to pick up the item at a later date.
The team retired Jagr’s No. 68 during a pregame ceremony last month. The 52-year-old Jagr, the NHL’s second all-time leading scorer, remains an active player on the team he owns in his native Czechia.
