When a statue was recently stolen from the main square of the central German city of Erfurt, it was more than a mere theft. It was a kidnapping.
The statue was of Bernd das Brot, a hugely popular TV character -- a melancholy bread loaf -- on German children's channel KLKA.
The channel presented the statue to the city in 2007, and it stood next to the imposing neo-gothic city hall until Jan. 21, when it disappeared.
A group of anarchists claimed responsibility for the abduction, followed by a YouTube video that indicated that the anthropomorphic loaf had joined its members in solidarity.
