A 31-year old South Carolina man is in police custody after he broke into a petting zoo and stole a 7-month bear cub. He originally planned to steal a monkey, but while he was in the cage, another monkey attacked the man and he had to make a hasty escape. Instead, he opted for one of a pair of baby bears. They say crooks is dumb, and this guy is no exception. He took the cub to a truck stop and charged people $1 a piece to pet him. At least he should have charged $5 each pet and made a little pocket cash before he went to jail. The bear was reunited with his brother the next day. I think they should put the man in the cage with the two babies and the Mama bear as punishment. He'll think twice before ever stealing a bear again.
