How about something a bit strange from the “bird theft” division?

Fla. Woman Arrested After Putting Rare Parrot In Bra

FORT MYERS, Fla. — A woman has been arrested for padding her bra — with a stolen rare parrot.

Apparently the aspiring thief took the parrot, valued at over $2,000, stuck it in her bra and made her escape from the exotic bird store where she worked. She later attempted to trade it for a car, but told the car’s owner how she came by the bird. Unfortunately for the talkative thief, the car owner knew the man who was the parrot’s rightful owner. The bumbling bird burglar now faces grand theft charges.

"The circumstances of the case are the most bizarre I’ve ever encountered," said veteran wildlife investigator Lenny Barshinger.

All in a day’s work for a veteran wildlife investigator.

Thats nuthin. I was once acused of trying to smuggle a python out of a store in my pants. How embarrased was that store clerk when I showed her it was no python.

I have always been jealous of women who could stash money or snacks in their bra without losing anything! But one would think that the parrot thing tops everything!
