The bear, which was stolen during a recent move in Vancouver, was outfitted with a device that plays the voice of Soriano’s mother who died due to cancer last June.
When the bear is squeezed, the recording says, “I love you I’m proud of you, I’ll always be with you.”
Soriano said that she “hugged it every time” she missed her mom.
Touched by the story, Reynolds offered a big reward to anybody who could return the bear safely.
Vancouver: $5,000 to anyone who returns this bear to Mara. Zero questions asked. I think we all need this bear to come home. https://t.co/L4teoxoY50

It turns out that the toy was actually being kept safe by a good citizen.
The actor took to Twitter to thank everyone who "searched high and low" for the bear.
