Earlier this week, Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é told you about dive crews pulling a car from Second Creek in Lauderdale County. The car had license plate tags from New Brunswick, Canada, that had expired in 2002.

YouTube content creators Chaos Divers came upon the car on Sunday while searching for a missing man. (Read more HERE)

The story made its way to Canada, and a journalist at the CBC put it on television there Wednesday. (You can read it )

And who should happen to see the story? The car’s former owner, of course!

Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é has learned she immediately contacted the Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office via Facebook, telling them she was living and working in the Paint Rock Valley area in the early 2000s when her car was stolen.

There was nothing of particular value inside, she said. She filed an insurance claim, but after moving back to Canada 18 years ago never expected to recover the car.

Until this week.

Pretty cool, eh?
