Nancy Wilson's stolen custom guitar has been recovered by New Jersey police from the woman who bought it from the purported thief.

According to the Associated Press, on Tuesday (June 10), police in Atlantic City said they had recovered the purple baritone Telecaster guitar with ah hand-painted headstock belonging to guitarist Nancy Wilson from a woman who bought it from the suspected thief. Detectives said surveillance video showed the suspect handing the Telecaster over to the woman, who put the instrument in her car, which was parked several blocks away from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino venue where Heart had been scheduled top perform. Police employed automated license plate readers to identify the vehicle and then tracked its location to find the woman, who voluntarily surrendered the guitar; Garfield Bennett, the 57-year-old Pleasantville, New Jersey man she bought it from for an undisclosed amount has been charged with burglary and theft.
