Overview

• The 45-year-old gallery owner discovered 'Mini' was taken on June 3 after briefly leaving his belongings unattended during a meeting on Unter den Linden.
• Measuring just 12 centimeters and dressed in a yellow romper, the bear held deep sentimental value as a gift from Marcus Erlenbauer’s deceased mother.
• Authorities and volunteers have plastered posters across the city and launched a website in English, Polish, Romanian and Bulgarian to solicit tips.
• A €1,000 finder’s fee continues to incentivize information, even as residents volunteer to sew or gift replica bears from their own collections.
• Erlenbauer says dozens of encouraging messages have arrived over the past week and he remains steadfast in his hope for Mini’s return.
