Reward offered for locating "Mini" – Teddy: 1000 euros for his recovery whilst suspended
Headline:1,000 Euro Reward for Return of Beloved 'Mini' Teddy Bear — A Personal Talisman Stolen in Berlin
Circulate International Appeal
Besides German posters, an English-language website is calling for tips regarding the swiped fluff morsel dubbed "Mini." This heartfelt search for the mascot began with art gallery owner Marcus Erlenbauer from Bielefeld.
However, the hunt for little 'Mini' isn't merely an art project; it's a matter of life and death for the 45-year-old man: "It's my lucky charm, which I've had for 30 years. It was given to me by my mother, who tragically passed away."
High Stakes and High Rewards
"This hits me hard," Erlenbauer told the German Press Agency. "It's something unique and irreplaceable. That's why we're desperately scouring every corner of Berlin, targeting unlikely spots where people have tipped us off, but none of the leads have paid off so far."
The gallery owner and his partner shared a drink with an actress on Unter den Linden Street on June 3rd, temporarily leaving their possessions unguarded. It seems thieves seized the opportunity, making off with cards, check cards, and ID documents, but the one item that can't be duplicated...
Emotional Repercussions
The approximately 12 cm tall teddy bear in a yellow onesie can't be replicated: "'Mini' travels with me everywhere, accompanying all my trips, projects, and endeavors. When I lose something so emotionally charged, I suddenly find myself feeling unbalanced and adrift."
That's why they're searching: "We decided to offer a substantial reward of 1,000 euros, which I also posted in different languages. I also put up flyers and sticky notes in the city, spreading the word about the theft across social media platforms."
