Pickles.  Seriously; the cup was on display at an exhibition in London and stolen on 3-20-1966.  A week later, a mutt named Pickles found it while walking with its owner.

The Jules Rimet Trophy\n\n---------\n\nThe Jules Rimet Trophy was the original prize for winning the World Cup. Originally called "Victory", but generally known simply as the World Cup or Coupe du Monde, it was officially renamed in 1946 to honour the FIFA President Jules Rimet who in 1929 passed a vote to initiate the competition. Designed by Abel Lafleur and made of gold plated sterling silver on a blue base of lapis lazuli, it stood 35 cm high and weighed 3.8 kg. [1] It was in the shape of an octagonal cup, supported by a winged figure representing Nike, the ancient Greek goddess of victory.\n\nDuring World War II, the trophy was held by Italy. Ottorino Barassi, the Italian vice-president of FIFA, hid it from the Germans in a shoe-box under his bed.\n\nJust before the 1966 World Cup Final in England the trophy was stolen during a public exhibition at Westminster Central Hall, but was found just seven days later, wrapped in newspaper at the bottom of a suburban garden hedge in Norwood, South London, by a dog named "Pickles".[1] As a security measure, The FA secretly manufactured a replica of the trophy for use in the post-match celebrations. The replica was also used on subsequent occasions until 1970. The replica was sold at an auction in 1997 for £254,500, when it was purchased by FIFA who subsequently arranged for it to be displayed at the English National Football Museum in Preston.\n\nThe Brazilian team won the trophy for the third time in 1970, and were rewarded by being allowed to keep it in perpetuity. However, the cup was stolen again in 1983 in Rio de Janeiro and never recovered; it may have been melted down. The Brazilian Football Confederation commissioned a replica of their own.

The Jules Rimet Trophey was stolen in England on the 20th of March 1966, before England won it. So although it was stolen in England, Brazil were still the champions and holders at the time. At the time it was valued at £30,000, and the thieves left £3M worth of stamps behind! It was found by a dog named Pickles in the mud of the Thames.....\nPresumably the thieves dumped it when they realised there was no way they could possibly fence such a famous trophy!\nLater that year it was England who won the World Cup, but in 1970 Brazil was allowed to keep the trophy for ever, after winning the competition for the record third time. \nThe replacement trophy remains the prize for the World Cup to this day. \nThe Jules Rimet cup was stolen again on the 19th of December, 1983 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by two janitors in the Brazilian FA. It has never been recovered, and the Brazilian FA had a fake made to keep in their museum. The police felt at the time it was melted down into two gold bars, but there are stories on the net of it having been sold in a London auction in 1995....

World War II is the reason the 1942 and 1946 world cups did not occur.  Uruguay won in 1950.
