I saw on the news a guy that had stolen one and felt guilty. He gave
it to the news station to return for him so they didn't know who it was.
He was wearing a ski mask while the reporter was talking to him. BK didn't
press charges. They were just happy to have Sponge Bob back. He said it
wasn't stealing him that was hard; it was deflating him.

Maybe one day someone will steal one of our banners

Stolen In Six States
If
a giant inflatable SpongeBob SquarePants is stolen from a rooftop, is it a
theft or a spongenapping? That's what police in at least six states need
to decide.

SpongeBob
SquarePants figures have been swiped from Burger King roofs in New York,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Maine, Tennessee and Utah over the past two weeks. The
giant inflatables are on select BK locations to promote The SpongeBob
Squarepants Movie and the QSR's Kids Meals and promotional watches.
At one BK in Utah,
employees handed out fliers to try and locate their missing SpongeBob. In
Minnesota, a BK manager received a ransom note demanding two "Krabby
Patties" in exchange for SpongeBob's return.
According to a franchisee
in New York, the inflatables are worth $350 each. Police in the six states
said they do not think the crimes are connected.
Officals at BK were not
available for comment.
