Missing - stuffed pink leopard

Kid's backpack was stolen from the Rite Aid parking lot in Davis, it contained her best friend for years and years -- her pink stuffed leopard.

"Around 5 or 6pm on Thursday our unlocked van was broken into while parked at the Rite Aid parking lot outside Davis Square in Somerville. The only object stolen was our 7 1/2 year old daughter's school backpack. Besides her school books, and her half-eaten lunch, the only item in there of note was the pink leopard in the photo.
Her name is Lisa Leopard.
She has had her since she was 3 years old. This is the go-to comfort toy. No, this is her best friend. This is the thing she brought to EVERY SINGLE "show and tell" day at school for a year.
This is her Hobbes. In fact, when I introduced her to Calvin and Hobbes last year, it was as if she had written the comics in a previous life.
So as you can imagine, I have spent the last several hours in the rain inspecting every square inch within a five block radius of the crime scene. I have been trying to get into the heads of whatever stoner kids found an unlocked door, grabbed the first thing they saw, and looked inside, and realized that there was nothing worth stealing. I have gone into every trash can and made friends with the T station workers. I even chatted up a few of the downtrodden folks at the bottle redemption center.
Tomorrow I'm posting signs. If you happen to see this Leopard, please, for the love of childhood, PM me.
Thank you."
