Where did you read that they took it back?
I assumed it, which I know is the mother of all screw ups, but I see it as a safer assumption then assuming they left it there.
I did read here on FR that her departure was not exactly a gracious one at least as far as FOX was concerned, as I remember it was about compensation. So I assumed they would not likely leave expensive equipment at her home.
I will also step out on limb and assume FOX asked her to come back, having realized she is a real boost to the bottom line.
So in lacking complete and total information, I sometimes resort to assumptions as they often land on the truth, but I understand that may only happen to me and not to everyone.
I could also assume that this whole thing was just a ploy to increase ratings at such a time as this, which could have always been the plan.
Most of the time I preface my assumptions with statements such as “I wonder”, “Perhaps”, “Maybe” etc.
Thank You for your question and the opportunity to explain.
