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.

So that’s what you dumb bastards want being the face of Maryland? What an asshole state.
She is repulsive at EVERY level. Thanks md voters...thanks a lot.
What she lacks in height she makes up for horizontally.
Most politicians are exceptionally good at faking sincerity.
I would bet my house most United States Senators do not shop for their groceries on a regular basis.
Damn, you could easily just roll her down the hall!
Or that Ram Manual guy from Chicongo...............
She is wider than she is tall, she would make a great Humpidy Dumpidy!
Both states allegedly have some good areas, but I withhold judgement.
Willy Wonka kicked her out. We should, too.
(I guess now she'll just have to dangle her legs there...)
Steal Mikulski’s stool?! I don’t even want to think about it.
And this is a story because?
I bet RBG’s stool will go for big money!!
My gosh, she is a 4x4! I have never seen a full picture of her before.
*Every morn at nine you could see her arrive
She stood four foot eleven and weighed 245
Kinda broad at the shoulders and very wide at the hips
And everyone knew ya didn't give no lip to Little Mikulski
An actual Oompa-Loompa/M&M mixed child!
babs mikulski was a sorry excuse for a senator. when my brother-in-law died and my sister called her office for help, they wouldn’t do anything. when i called her about some utility rate hike, she said that i couldn’t expect her to question that just for me. when i suggested that other of her constituents would also be affected, and that i had noticed that she accepted a $2500 donation from said utility, never heard another word from her. useless!
Ol’ Butterball has herself back in the news? Just when you thought it was safe.
MD ping.
sin twisters.
