Hulk Hogan -- My Stolen Boot Has Been Returned

Hulk Hogan's stolen boot has found its way home ... thanks in part to your good friends at TMZ.

The Hulkster tells TMZ the boot was returned today by one of the women involved in the theft. We're told the husband of one of the women involved (it's unclear which) saw TMZ's story about the theft and pressured the group to come clean.

According to Hulk, the woman who took the boot had returned home to Michigan, but left it in the car of one of the other women ... who lives in nearby Tampa. When the women called the store to say they would return the boot, the store then called the cops ... who were waiting when the woman arrived with the boot.

The woman who returned the boot was not arrested, but we're told a warrant has been issued back in Michigan for the woman who actually lifted the boot.
