It looks as if someone has invented a new way of parting sentimental
Americans from their money - kidnap their kid's cuddly toys, then
offer them back (for semi-serious money) on E-Bay.
You won't get as much money as you would for the kid, but cuddly toys
are easier to look after, and the FBI won't want to get involved.
Venture capitalists will be moving in from all over - isn't as if you
could patent the scam.
