Apparently, it worked.

On Wednesday, Soriano tweeted a photo of her hugging the precious item. She credited the \"Deadpool\" star and entrepreneur for the teddy's safe return.

\"Break out the Aviation Gin,\" she tweeted, referencing the liquor brand Reynolds' has invested in. \"MAMABEAR is home!\"

In happier news... thank you everyone who searched high and low. To the person who took the bear, thanks for keeping it safe. Vancouver is awesome. #FoundMarasBear https://t.co/X7FlyiR89P

Reynolds re-tweeted the reunion photo, adding, \"In happier news... thank you everyone who searched high and low. To the person who took the bear, thanks for keeping it safe. Vancouver is awesome.\"

Soriano replied, \"THANK YOU RYAN! This wouldn't have been possible without your signal boost!\"
