Overview

• Marcus Erlenbauer reported that thieves stole his 12-centimeter teddy bear named Mini from a restaurant on Unter den Linden during a June 3 outing in Berlin.
• Mini carries deep personal significance as a 30-year-old gift from Erlenbauer’s mother, who died tragically.
• Erlenbauer has offered a €1000 finder’s reward and distributed posters in German, English, Polish, Romanian and Bulgarian alongside a dedicated website.
• The search has generated thousands of sympathetic messages but has produced only one potentially credible lead to date.
• Efforts continue across Berlin with flyers, social media appeals and multilingual outreach to recover the bear.
