Thief steals former Maryland Sen. Mikulski's famed footstool, employee reports
Baltimore Sun ^ | Lillian Reed

At 4 feet 11, former U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski almost stood a little shorter this week after a thief stole her famous footstool out of a car in Hampden.

Mikulski’s signature footstool, which she uses for speaking engagements, was stolen out of an employee’s car on Falls Road in Hampden, according to an internet post from the employee Monday.

The employee posted the story to the social media platform Nextdoor asking neighbors for help after a thief broke into her car and stole a bag containing the collapsible stool. She believed the thief mistook the bag for a purse and might have discarded the stool nearby upon discovery.

The employee asked to not be identified for safety reasons.

Mikulski’s stool has become notable over the former Maryland senator’s career. For years, the item, which has been described as blue and carpeted, garnered mentions in media coverage from publications like The Baltimore Sun and Washington Post.

A number of people commented on the post on Nextdoor, some even offering to buy a new step stool for the former U.S. senator for Maryland.

The employee later told the Sun that a neighbor later found the stool in a trash can.

I’d sooner believe that it was misplaced or left somewhere before I’d believe it was stolen. No thief wound break into a car to weigh their self down with a footstool of all things.

Her politics are/were awful but she was friendly in person. She shopped in a grocery store I worked at in Baltimore when she was a senator and never gave us any DYKWIA attitude.

Most politicians are exceptionally good at faking sincerity.

Give it back to Maryland’s finest so maybe the POS will fall off it and split her coconut. Geez you Maarylanders give us stools like this to determine our destiny?
