Stuffed Bear Mascot of Silver Spring Thai Dessert Shop, Sweeteria, Taken From and Later Returned to Restaurant

Mr. Kai, a large stuffed bear, has been Sweeteria’s unofficial mascot since the dessert shop opened its doors back in the fall of 2020. The Thai dessert shop, owned and operated by the owners of Kao Thai Restaurant (two stores down), recently posted a sad story that included a video of their beloved mascot being taken off a chair by a man on a bike. The stuffed bear is posed in various locations around the restaurant and a few days ago, he was placed on a chair behind the restaurant that the employees often use to sit on.

After a brief search, Mr. Kai was returned and it turns out the whole situation was a misunderstanding. The outdoor chairs behind the dessert shop are located in close proximity to a dumpster, so the man who was riding by on his bike thought that the large stuffed animal was being thrown away. Once he was informed that Mr. Kai was being looked for, he quickly returned the bear to the restaurant.
