A virtual "mountain of honk" stolen in 1978 from Australian pop group The Little River Band has been located in an Austin Greyhound Bus station locker by local authorities, ending a twenty nine year old mystery. The large amount of cocaine was stolen from the band at the Sunset Marquis in West Hollywood at a party thrown by Capitol Records to celebrate the success of the band's single "Reminiscing" which had just reached number three on the Billboard charts. "The Little River Band, or what remains of it, are elated at the news that our quality weasel dust that we worked so hard for has been recovered", band manger Glenn Wheatley, was quoted as saying from Melbourne this morning. Los Angeles Police spokesperson Etta Daley says that the Bolivian marching powder will be flown from Austin to L.A. by this Friday and the band will be able to pick it up by next week. "This closes a case that has bedeviled us for nearly three decades and we are thankful and relieved in the revelation that the band and their families will finally be able to sleep tonight with the knowledge that their sweet booger sugar is finally coming home to them, " she stated at a press conference Wednesday afternoon. The party, which took place October 13th through the 17th, had an illustrious guest list of pop icons of the era including Archie Bell and the Dells, Alicia Bridges, and members of 10cc. When informed of the discovery at his home in Sydney, lead singer Glenn Shorrock quipped, " That's a load off my mind. We had been hitching up the reindeer for over forty-eight hours straight and drinking quite a bit so we really never noticed that it had vanished until the wee hours of the last day of the gathering. I just figured that it had been nicked by some hookers or that asshole Jimmy Stokely from Exile!"
