twitterThief makes off with 900 Beanie Babies
Wednesday, Sept. 2, 1998 | 10:16 a.m.
Californian Robert Bruce said he and his wife were in Las Vegas over the weekend trying to sell their Beanie Babies. They parked their trailer behind a local hotel, but on Sunday morning it was gone.
Bruce said the thief made off with $75,000 in Beanie Babies including several hard-to-find animals.
Bruce is offering a $10,000 reward for the safe return of the Beanie Babies.
Police are investigating.
Ty Inc. of Oak Brook, Ill., brought out the first Beanie Babies, including Squealer the Pig and Kip the Cat - in 1994. More than 100 different versions have come out since and stores can't keep them in stock. Versions that have been retired command high prices from collectors.
