Thieves Arrested After Stealing 'Big Bird' Costume Worth $118,000

Three people in Australia have been arrested for stealing a Big Bird costume - which they later returned with a punny note. The 7-foot-tall costume - made from ostrich feathers and valued at over $118,000 - was stolen from a Sesame Street-themed children's circus in Adelaide. It was returned a few days later along with a note signed by the 'Big Bird Bandits', apologizing for causing 'such a big birden'. The apology wasn't good enough for police, who arrested the trio on theft charges. Who was your favorite Sesame Street character growing up?
