A lifebuoy that was stolen from the Cook Strait Arahura ferry has been returned, two decades later.

A mystery package arrived at Wellington's Interislander terminal this week, the bright orange buoy accompanied with a regretful note from the thief.

Interislander executive general manager Walter Rushbrook joins the show to share the story.
