SpongeBob kidnapped


He's big, he's yellow, and he's missing. Investigators in three states are searching for kidnapped cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants. Police in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Utah are looking for blow-up figures of SpongeBob swiped from Burger Kings.

Little Falls police found a ransom note that says, "we have SpongeBob" and demands "ten Crabby Patties, fries and milkshakes." That ransom note is signed by SpongeBob's nemesis, Plankton. A postscript reads: "Patrick is next," referring to SpongeBob's starfish buddy.

SpongeBob SquarePants is one of the hottest sponges around. While most sponges are destined to spend their time wiping up mildew, SpongeBob SquarePants has a blast with his buddies and lives under the sea in a pineapple.
