not a Netherland Dwarf, just a bunny

Man, this week is like Christmas if you like stories about people committing strange crimes, which I of course do [#]. Someone stole a prizewinning Netherland Dwarf rabbit from the Puyallup Fair on Saturday. Its name is RJ, and it’s owned by a 13-year-old from Vancouver [PI].

Witnesses saw a man leaving the bunny barn with an orange rabbit under his arm, and the plastic tie holding the cage shut had been cut. It’s the first theft from the fair in 20 years, and if you see RJ he can be recognized by his name tattooed in his left ear.

Poor bunny. What I really want to know, though, is why the man picked that bunny. I was at the fair on Sunday and while all of the bunnies were adorable and soft, they all looked pretty much the same. Was RJ’s cage near the end of a row, facilitating an easy getaway? Did the rabbit speak to the man? What sort of person steals a rabbit from a 13-year-old 4H kid? I hope he gets caught just so we can find out.
