Barlow? Pointer? <br /><br /><br />LITTLE FALLS (AP) - He's big, he's yellow, and he's missing.<br /><br />Investigators in three states are searching for kidnapped cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants.<br /><br />Police in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Utah are looking for blow-up figures of SpongeBob swiped from Burger Kings.<br /><br />Little Falls police found a ransom note that says, "we have SpongeBob" and demands "ten Crabby Patties, fries and milkshakes."<br /><br />That ransom note is signed by SpongeBob's nemesis, Plankton. A postscript reads: "Patrick is next," referring to SpongeBob's starfish buddy.<br /><br />In Sheboygan, Wis., someone swiped a 6-foot-tall SpongeBob blowup from Burger King's roof. The culprits did not leave a ransom note, police said, but informants on SpongeBob's whereabouts are eligible for a $1,000 reward.<br /><br />SpongeBob was also stolen from a southeast Utah Burger King. Employees there are handing out "Missing" fliers with a full description of the popular cartoon figure that is featured in a new movie.
