It's like Christmas in April... but with no reindeer... and with a "speed bump" in the road to present delivery. 

A stolen trailer filled with toys intended for kids with cancer at Nicklaus Children's Hospital in Miami has been found.  

The owner of the Mystic Force Foundation, Sylvia Domingues Vanni, says the trailer was taken from her North Miami home sometime between midnight and 6 a.m. Monday morning. Vanni says the trailer was filled with toys intended for child cancer patients at the hospital. 

Authorities recovered the trailer in Sunrise Monday night. Though the toys were missing from the vehicle, it was returned to its rightful owner. 

The owner of the trailer took to Facebook Tuesday morning to post an update: allegedly, police have searched a shed on the property where the trailer was found and a majority of the toys have been recovered. 

No word on any arrests made in the case.
