Apparently someone in Lincoln, Nebraska thinks that you can exchange rabbits. The man allegedly stole a bunny from a pet store and left a jackrabbit in its place.
Police have arrested Michael Stiles, 39, who is accused of stealing the rabbit. However it seems that Stiles has pulled off a bit of a David Copperfield act: the rabbit has disappeared, the Journal Star reports.
Apparently tracking down Michael Stiles wasn’t all that difficult.
If there is to be a lesson here, I suppose it involves what constitutes petty theft. Petty theft is a charge used when one is accused of stealing something of a small amount. Typically, less than a few hundred dollars.
