STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. A thief at a convenience store wore a disguise. He walked into the store in Forest Grove, Ore., dressed as Cookie Monster and ate half a package of cookies and fled.

Cookie Monster would never have left the other half of the cookie package just sitting there.
