Holiday Mystery Solved! Massachusetts Police Department Discovers Therapy Dog Was the Thief Stealing From a Toy Donation Bin
It wasn’t the Grinch after all! The police department in Franklin, Mass., had been collecting toys during this year’s holiday season to send to the non-profit Santa Foundation, but noticed some kept going missing.
Detectives quickly got to the bottom of it and caught the thief in the act: it was Ben Franklin, the police department’s therapy dog.
“We learned an extremely valuable lesson today,” the Franklin Police Department wrote on Facebook on Wednesday. “When you have a classroom full of toys ready to be shipped off to the Santa Foundation, you should… 1. Close the door to the classroom Or 2. Keep the toys elevated[.] If not, a golden retriever will slowly hoard them throughout the day and bring them back to his lair. Thanks to Officer Cusson for capturing this larceny on camera.”
In a video that’s now been viewed over 300,000 times, an officer can be heard asking Ben “where are you going?” as the dog prances through the police station with a toy baby basket in his mouth. The video ends with Ben taking the baby underneath a desk, where it looks like he might have been hoarding the toys.
“When they saw him walking out of the classroom, they were like: ‘What is he doing?’” Franklin Police Deputy Chief James Mil told Boston 25 News. “The facility is locked down so we knew it was pretty simple to figure out it was Ben… When Ben saw the toys, he thought they all belonged to him.”
But Ben got off with a warning this time. “It was an easy solution. Ben here is now banned from this room. I mean, he’s gotten his slobber all over them at this point so the police department has replaced them,” Mill told Boston 25 News.
The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility Elena Gorgan The idea of making something that would be halfway between a bicycle or motorcycle and a car is not new; after all, the advantages of such a vehicle would be many for a large segment of the market. In the Czech Republic, inventor, fabricator and full-time pilot Arnold Wagner has been making one such vehicle since the late ‘80s. Since 2009, with a new partner, he launched the PERAVES CZ company, and they’ve been putting out these cabin-motorcycles dubbed MonoRacer since then. They probably haven’t sold more than a couple of hundred of them (90 of which were made before the 2009 partnership), but that could change as early as this month. As it turns out, PERAVES CZ has made an electric version of the MonoRacer, called the MonoRacer 130E, and it is now in the process of receiving EU-certification. The MonoRacer 130E is an electric motorcycle with a fully enclosed cabi...
I just got an automated call this morning for my upcoming Wellness Exam; a free service the government does for older people. You get those Wellness exams once a year. I got blasted with all kinds of questions about my physical and mental health. They give you four choices to reply with, in their automated questions. I wrote them down so I could answer as they expected: Not at all Several days More than half the days Nearly everyday I think I’ve started some kind of (unwanted) ball rolling with my “nearly everyday” honest answer. For example: Do you feel depressed? My answer: Nearly everyday. Sub question: What do you feel depressed about? My answer: World affairs. Anybody who isn’t depressed about the status quo of the world isn’t all there, if you ask me, but... . That must have been the magic trigger because I got transferred to three different groups after that: a suicide prevention hotline, then psychiatric counseling, then som...
