SpongeBob Thieves Strike in 4 States

(Nov. 25) - It's a regular SpongeBob crime wave.

First some oversized figures of SpongeBob SquarePants were swiped from
Burger Kings in Michigan, Minnesota and Utah.

Now police in Wisconsin are on the lookout for spongenappers who clipped
a six-foot Squarepants that was promoting the SpongeBob movie opening.

No ransom note was left in Sheboygan, Wisconsin -- although in
Minnesota, the list of demands includes ten Crabby Patties for
SpongeBob's return.

Police there are looking for a a blow-up figure swiped from a Burger
King. They've found a ransom note which starts off: "We have SpongeBob."
It then demands, "Give us ten Crabby Patties, fries and milkshakes."

The ransom note is signed by SpongeBob's nemesis, Plankton. A postscript
reads: "Patrick is next," referring to SpongeBob's cartoon friend.

At a southeast Utah Burger King, vandals made off with a six-by-ten-foot
balloon of Spongebob.

Employees are handing out "Missing" fliers with a full description of
the popular cartoon figure -- featured in a new movie.

After some shrewd negotiations between police and a lawyer, a SpongeBob
from Bad Axe, Michigan, has been returned home, slightly the worse for
wear.

No laughing matter for Crime Stoppers in Sheboygan, though, who say
informants on the whereabouts of the Wisconsin blow-up could earn a
thousand dollar reward.
