'Cookie Monster' sends 2nd note in sculpture theft
BERLIN (AP) — Police in Germany say someone dressed as the Cookie Monster has sent a second note regarding a stolen cookie sculpture — this time saying he wants to return it.
But officials aren't sure the person in the photo actually stole the 20-kilogram (44 pound), century-old sculpture.
The gilded bronze item was part of a statue outside German cookie baker Bahlsen's Hannover office, and it was reported stolen last month.
The Hannover police's statement says a local newspaper on Monday received a picture of someone dressed like the Sesame Street character holding what appears to be the stolen cookie.
The enclosed note is written in cut-out letters.
An earlier letter demanded that cookies be delivered to children at a city hospital, but the new note made no demands.

Would it really be that difficult to just send the cookies to the Childrens' Hospital???????
 @WendyTeagarden I'll try.  I can't guarantee they will all make it.
@WendyTeagarden I don't recall a hospital on Sesame Street....I think they would have to send the cookies over to Mr. Roger's neighborhood by way of trolley. That is if Fred has paid the Electric Company...
@beernpizza Cookie Monster went to Conjunctuon Junction and road on the Reading Rainbow.
@Kushfan Have another cookie; that will be helpful.
 @WendyTeagarden I've been trying to figure that out for half a century.
@Kushfan What's your function?
 @WendyTeagarden   Conjunctuon Junction?  Is that anything like the Chattanooga Choo Choo?
