'How and who would come to the studio and steal a trailer,' Pillow said back in April.
In the more than a month since we last spoke to Pillow, she said she still doesn't know who stole the trailer just days before a competition.

But she's glad somebody found it.
'I was just in shock, I really couldn't comprehend what he was saying,' Pillow said.
As for what happened, a neighbor told the man who found the trailer that they might have seen a news story about the trailer on the news.
'It was not in front of any homes, just sitting there and he noticed the trailer did not have a tag or locks and he knew something was just off,' Pillow said. 'He googled WSBTV and saw the interview and walked over to the trailer and he could tell you could still see the logo but it was covered with black paint.'
Inside, the man found Pillow's contact information and returned the trailer.
'Everything is still inside the trailer, it's unbelievable nothing was touched,' Pillow told Channel 2 Action News.
Pillow now has two trailers, including a brand new one, thanks to donations from the community and a dance studio in Cobb County.
Police said they don't know who stole the trailer and Pillow said the investigation is closed.
