Spongebob Kidnapped

Come on Parks911, fess up.


SpongeBob SquarePants 'kidnapped' in Little Falls; ransom note demands Crabby Patties

Associated Press

November 24, 2004 SPONGEBOB1125

LITTLE FALLS, Minn. -- He's big, he's yellow, and he's missing.

Police in Little Falls are searching for a blow-up figure of SpongeBob SquarePants, taken from his perch atop a Burger King restaurant.

The popular cartoon character was plugging his new movie in a joint marketing deal with Burger King.

Police found a ransom note which reads: ``We have SpongeBob. Give us ten Crabby Patties, fries and milkshakes.'' It was signed by SpongeBob's nemesis, Plankton. And the note had this postscript: ``Patrick is next,'' a reference to SpongeBob's starfish buddy.

I heard this this morning. They also reported that there over a hundred cases of SpongeBob kidnappings across the country.

I plead the fifth.


Come to think about it, I was in Little Falls that Wednesday.

Now they're onto me......

Decision time, what to do?

Time to raise the ransom. We are now demanding 30 crabby Patties, fries and milkshakes or else SpongeBob gets it.

A couple of us were going to put the cut out top of a brown paper bag with a white band painted on the top around his ankles. Everyone chickned out after all the thefts, and the cops are watching the BK more than any place else.

I remember being in a town once(which will remain nameless) where a new Wink's Convenience store was having it's grand opening. To make a long story short, this is, as far as I know, an Alberta owned and operated company only, and they have this huge inflateable owl they refer to as the "winky-bird" for a mascot. During the grand opening, they had this thing on the roof of the store....

Walking home from the bar with a rather rambunctious cowboy bud of mine(he rode bulls and broncs in rodeos for fun) He decides after way to many "pops" that this bird has to go, shinnies up the drain pipe to the roof, and decides to stab the damned thing....needless to say, the bird deflated, and blew him off the roof(about 30 feet up)
Probably a good thing he was drunk, as he landed, was coughing and spitting a bit of dust, but was otherwise just fine.... What a nut! He got kicked out of that town a couple of years later for roping an elk(National park).

Only Crapola. $430.00 for a Spongbob Inflatable that is most liekly stolen.

Actually there are many of those listed on eBay right now. They all state in the auction that they are not stolen.

How can you prove that a blow up doll is not stolen?

Do they have serial numbers?


edited to ad

I just looked, there seems to be a totla of 6 current inflatable spongebob auctions. Ranging from $75.00 to $10,000.00.

There's one listed in the Daily Oklahoman classifieds for $300. My first thought was "I wonder if the police have called them yet?"
