Off topic (I apologize in advance) - quick beanie baby story. May 21, 1999 Nurse Accused of Taking Beanie Baby Filed at 7:13 a.m. EDT By The Associated Press HERSHEY, Pa. (AP) -- Authorities have accused a former nurse of stealing a Beanie Baby toy from a 12-year-old girl's hospital bed while the girl was recovering from open-heart surgery. ''I just was very floored that it would happen,'' said Michele Kiser, the mother of patient Nicole Kiser. ''I just could not believe that someone would steal from a sick child.'' Police said former Hershey Medical Center nurse Suzanne E. Pinkney, 50, stole the ''Angel Halo'' Beanie Baby from the child Dec. 8, then later struggled with officers who confronted her. She was charged last week with theft by unlawful taking, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Nicole, who nearly died from a closed heart valve and complications, was given the $70 toy as a gift. Police have since returned it to her. Hershey Medical Center officials would say only that Ms. Pinkney no longer works there. Ms. Pinkney, who faces a July court hearing, could not be reached for comment. Copyright 1999 The New York Times Company
