Write a summary lead based on the following information, which is from a story by The Associated Press
     The Tucson Toros are a minor-league baseball team playing in the Arizona city.
     The team general manager is Mike Feder. He was upset on Thursday because a red equipment bag was stolen.
     The equipment bag contained the uniform worn by the team's mascot.
     Whoever took it can keep the bag," Feder
said. "We just want the uniform back."
     The uniform is worth about $200. It's white with red pinstripes. It has a Toros logo on the front and the name of the mascot on the back.
     The name of the mascot is Tuffy. Tuffy's head was not stolen along with the uniform. The head is worth $1,000.
