I had a similar "kidnapping" experience several years ago. I kept a pink plastic flamingo in my office. My staff, after I notified them that I had been promoted and would be transferring, kidnapped my flamingo. Over a week's time, I received a series of ransom notes, quite expertly done with cut out letters from magazines. Two of the notes were accompanied by the detachable metal legs. Several members of the staff put up "Missing Flamingo" posters around the building. The final note instructed me to leave a large assortment of candy in a filing cabinet. The next morning, the flamingo was in my trash can, blindfolded!
I still get a good chuckle when I recall this stunt; they were a fun group of people.
