Berlin
Missing: One聽golden聽cookie, weighing around 44 pounds (20 kilograms).
Suspect: The聽Cookie聽Monster?
The rectangular gilded bronze sculpture was part of a statue gracing the facade of German聽cookie聽baker Bahlsen's Hannover office.
How the century-old symbol was taken remains unclear, but police say witnesses reported having seen two men with a ladder in the area earlier this month.
The company has offered 鈧�1,000 ($1,350) for information leading to the聽cookie's聽recovery.
A police statement said a local newspaper received a picture Tuesday showing someone in an outfit similar to Sesame Street's Cookie聽Monster holding a聽golden聽cookie.
The sender wrote to demand聽cookies聽be delivered to children at a city hospital.
Police aren't sure if it's the same聽cookie, or a real claim of responsibility.
