A popular Dublin restaurant has appealed for help after their Christmas bear offering free hugs for over 15 years was stolen.
Staff at the vegan eatery on Wicklow Street were left shocked after the polar bear was stolen on Thursday at 9.30pm. The stuffed animal was nicked by a "hooded man", the restaurant said.
In a statement on Instagram, Cornucopia said: "Our Cornucopia polar bear was kidnapped yesterday at 9.30pm by a hooded man. He has been our resident Christmas bear for free hugs for 15+ years.
