Justin Bieber Sign-Napping Case Closed & Who wants to kidnap Justin Bieber?

The street sign that had been erected in honor of Justin Bieber in Forney, Texas, on Wednesday, went missing hours later, has been returned.
Of course, no one is more relieved than the young girl who initially made it all happen.
As you may or may not have heard, 11-year-old Caroline Gonzalez had been named "mayor for a day" in her small town near Dallas after winning a contest designed to spark government interest in young people. Her first order of business, naturally, was to give her favorite teen heartthrob his very own street.
But, soon after its unveiling during a ceremony on Wednesday, it disappeared.
So, what happened?
Well, Brian Brooks, the city manager for Forney, tells E! News that a group of boys inadvertently tore the sign off its pole while hanging from it and ended up running away with the sign in a moment of panic. The boys actually ended up bringing it back to the police department and explaining what had occurred.
Prior to it being turned in, however, a replacement sign had already been erected Thursday afternoon and is expected (hopefully!) to stay right where it belongs through the weekend.
So far no charges have been filed against the kid scofflaws.
Naturally, the next step is to get Bieber himself to swing by and there's already a "Bring Justin Bieber to Forney" Facebook page established.
Here's hoping nobody ends up taking him if he decides to visit.

Bumbling Justin Bieber Kidnapping Plot Thwarted!

Justin Bieber, watch out! Not even your cardboard doppelgänger is safe from overly obsessed superfans.
A Florida man was arrested Monday for attempting to make off with a life-size Biebs cutout from a Tampa-area record store.
And the best part—the suspect and Bieber have the exact same haircut!
According to the police affidavit obtained by the Manatee County Sheriff's Department, 23-year-old David Dowling walked into an F.Y.E. store with a friend (whose name was withheld because he/she is a minor) and jacked the standee.
They subsequently made their getaway through a nearby Sears store, whose "loss prevention" security cameras caught the less-than-dynamic duo on tape. By that point, an F.Y.E. assistant manager had caught up with them and retrieved poor Cardboard Justin.
The suspects tried to flee, but were apprehended a little later hiding out behind some bushes outside the mall and taken into custody.
Authorities also say Dowling and his partner-in-crime tore a $1.99 signage label off the cutout, which was priced at $34.99, destroying it. Dowling is also accused of lying to officers about his identity.
Dowling was booked on charges of petty theft and giving a false name while lawfully detained. He remains locked up in the county clink in lieu of $120 bond.
Did he just a bad case of Bieber Fever clouding his brain?
Nope. Dowling thought it was some kind of awesome joke.
In a post-arrest statement, Dowling told the cops their motivation for the heist: "We were just having fun holding Justin Bieber hostage."
