Burger King restaurants across the country are reporting widespread theft of life-size promotional cutouts of Twilight stars Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner from their windows. Franchises in Maine, Delaware, and Montana have all reported thefts of the posters, which are part of a cross-promotion.
