VASAviation has it here. An M20F with a bunch of oil on the frame and a big dent in the cowling after landing. Appears to have thrown a rod at 4500'. Landed safely.

 
Easy peasy, well within glide range, long runways...if an emergency engine out can be boring..this is it.
Pilot seemed in total control.
 
Read over in another board the pilot was looking for options to get repaired.
they are apparently getting charged a bunch of money for ramp/hangar fees and can’t be repaired there anyway and owner was trying to keep it from being taken apart and hauled out
