The Museum of Miniature Found Objects is pleased to report Bunty, the missing guide dog, has been found by the bins at the Rivoli Rooftop Bistro and is delighted to be reunited with her owner, Armand Fontenoy. Mr Fontenoy said, "Without my Bunty life can difficult. The last fortnight's been very hard – I've missed her!" Staff at the Rivoli Rooftop Bistro have reported the bin area is now fully sanitised and operational once again and welcome all visitors wishing to enjoy a selection of beverages and sweet and savoury light refreshments.

The Museum of Miniature Found Objects was recently the subject of a malicious prank concerning the Byzantine earring, popularly known as the Empress's Tears. Earlier this week the museum received an anonymous tip-off casting doubt on the authenticity of the recently returned earring. After conducting a series of rigorous checks, the MMFO's Keeper of Repute and colleagues from Christie's unanimously declared the earring a copy, and not the original. In order to bring an end to this prank, the earring was destroyed in the Anti-Forgery Auto-Compactor on Wednesday evening. The raspberry jam smear on the packaging in which the earring was discovered and the jam traces found within the MMFO and her sister institution, the British Museum, are now believed to have been entirely coincidental and not connected to the forgery. The British Museum was not available for comment.
