If you are going to be jailed and charged with grand theft, you better steal something a little more valuable than a skunk. A Sheriff with the Sarasota police department arrested a man today for stealing a baby skunk from the Animal Crackers Pet Store. (Aside: I love the name of the pet store.) The man was arrested when he tried to return the stolen skunk to the pet store. Three things come to mind: 1) Why steal a skunk? 2) Why return it without your receipt? 3) Do you think the dumb crook actually thought it was a cute puppy and not a skunk? If he goes to jail, how embarrassing is it going to be when the guys ask him what he's in for? "Oh, I stole a baby skunk." He could get Pepe Le pew as a jailhouse tattoo. Would that pass the prison test?
