Corey Feldman Reunites With Famous $100K Jacket: Man Who Found Lost Jacket At Flea Market Asks For Donation To Boston Bombing Charity In Return

Hollywood actor Corey Feldman was reunited with a leather jacket worth $100,000 that he lost over two years ago, and the man who returned it asked him to donate money to a fund for Boston Marathon bombing victims as part of his reward.

Feldman lost the famous coat, which he wore in the 1989 movie "Dream a Little Dream," at the House of Blues in 2011 after going backstage with rock band Steel Panther and a rapper named Ditch, according to TMZ.

After laying the jacket down on a table in the dressing room a few minutes before a large crowd of people came in, he noticed that the jacket was gone.

While Corey went as far as looking over surveillance tapes with the House of Blues staff, he wasn't able to find out who exactly stole the jacket, according to TMZ.

Two years later, the jacket somehow made its way to a flea market in Boston. And the man who found it instantly recognized who it belonged to.

The man who returned the jacket was flown in by Feldman and was kept up for a luxury weekend at the Andaz Hotel on Sunset Boulevard. He even got an appearance on stage with Feldman's rock group at one of his concerts.

But the man who found the jacket also wanted part of the profits made from the show to be directed to One Fund Boston, a fund created to benefit the victims of the Boston Marathon Bombing, according to TMZ.

The Boston native even received protection from a six-foot female bodyguard during his stay.
