Dog spat leads to hostage situation
By World Net Daily
Published: 01/21/2008

A neighborhood spat over dog droppings has resulted in a couple's prized statue of Jesus Christ being stolen from their yard, and a ransom note left in their mailbox. Jean Mansel of Oakbrook Township, Mich., says someone took her 80-pound cement Jesus, a family heirloom, and then called to indicate why it was removed.

"My husband got a phone call and a real graspy voice over the phone said, 'Check your mailbox,'" she told WZZM-TV, whose video of the story is online.

Inside the mailbox was a ransom note.

"The note basically said they were holding Jesus for ransom," Mansel said.

The message on the handwritten note states:

We are holding Jesus ransom until you clean up the poopie from your wieners and trust us we see you take your wieners for long walks w/out picking up their poopie in our yards. This has upset us dearly so please clean up all the wiener poopie, if you want to see Jesus unharmed. Sincerely, Lindy Lane Residents. Read more.
