Truly a tragedy. I'm going to have to revise my Alert Level spreadsheet now, just because the Cookie Monster got hungry.

DURANGO, Colo. - Two teenage girls who surprised their neighbors with homemade cookies late one night were ordered to pay nearly $900 in medical bills plus court costs for a woman who says she was so startled that she had to go to the hospital.
La Plata County Court Judge Doug Walker declined Thursday to award punitive damages, saying he did not believe the girls acted maliciously but that 10:30 was fairly late at night for them to be out.
Taylor Ostergaard, then 17, and Lindsey Jo Zellitti, then 18, baked the chocolate chip and sugar cookies one night last July. They made packages with a half-dozen cookies each and added large red or pink construction-paper hearts that carried the message, Have a great night and were signed with their first initials: Love, The T and L Club. Then they set off to make their deliveries.
The Denver Post reported Friday that the girls had decided to stay home and bake the cookies rather than go to a dance where there might be cursing and drinking. It reported that six neighbors wrote letters entered as evidence in the case thanking the girls for the cookies.
Shadowy figures and no answer to Whos there? But Wanita Renea Young, 49, said she was at her rural home south of Durango around 10:30 p.m. when she saw shadowy figures outside the house banging repeatedly on her door. She yelled, Whos there? but no one answered, and the figures ran away.
The teens said they did not answer when the woman called out because they wanted the treats to be a surprise.
Frightened, Young spent the night at her sisters home, then went to the hospital the next morning because she was still shaking, had an upset stomach and feared she had had a heart attack.
Apologies called insincere The teenagers families offered to pay Youngs medical bills, but she declined and sued, saying their apologies were not sincere and were not offered in person.
The girls declined comment after the ruling. Taylors mother said her daughter cried and cried.
She felt she was being punished for doing something nice, Jill Ostergaard said.
Young said the teenagers showed very poor judgment
The victory wasnt sweet, Young said. Im not gloating about it. I just hope the girls learned a lesson.
The two were ordered to pay $871.70 plus $39 in court costs. They paid the judgment Thursday, a court clerk said Friday.
