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.
Mikulskis signature footstool, which she uses for speaking engagements, was stolen out of an employees 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.
Mikulskis stool has become notable over the former Maryland senators 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.

It was found in a trash can. That’s not “misplaced” or “left”.
The employee thought since it was in a bag it might have seemed like a purse.
(All this is in the excerpt.)
Stop it! You’re killing me! I can’t see me screen or anything.....
All those broken blood vessels in her face leads me to believe that Mikulski is an alcoholic.
After you put the photo link in quotation marks, but before the closing "greater than" symbol, >, you simply type width = 400 (but you can adjust the number once you see it in Preview.... 400 seems to work best most of the time)
Hmmm.... brackets [], braces {}, and parentheses ().... why don't these guys < > have their own names? Inequalities, maybe?
