A second stone was taken from opposite the Chequers pub, a mile further down the road near Redbourn, last month.
Police had been told that the stone had been spotted in Hemel Hempstead, only to discovery that it was in fact the first milestone.

It was found just over six miles away in Barnes Lane, Kings Langley.
A police spokesman said both would be "placed back in their rightful place at some point in the future".
