<P> The rest of the trophy was found on Sunday 27 March , just seven days after it was stolen , wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a suburban garden hedge in Beulah Hill , Upper Norwood , South London , by the four - year - old Pickles , while taking a walk with his owner , David Corbett , who worked as a Thames lighterman . Suspicion of involvement in the theft was attached briefly to David Corbett . When England won the trophy , as a reward , Pickles was invited to the celebration banquet and was allowed to lick his owner 's bowl . </P>
