This story reminds of the joke on the animated series “The Flintstones” when Betty Rubble was chewing our her husband Barney over his friendship with Fred Flintstone.
Betty told Barney “If Fred was going to jump into the ocean, I presume you are going after him.”
Barney replied to Betty “I would since Fred can’t swim.”
Now this story has a strange twist of humor since the young lady who attempted to steal a cat named Mo last week in Omaha Nebraska when Mo who is an indoor cat living his owner Samuel Evertson and his wife have a camera on the front yard of their home to make sure that anyone who has the nerve to steal something from their home without their permission, will get in some major trouble with the law.
What makes cats interesting pets is that an adult cat knows how to defend himself when he does not want anyone outside of his loved ones to take advantage of him.
While Samuel and his wife were inside their home watching television, a young teenager attempted to steal Mo from underneath the noses of the Evertson family.
The young lady grabbed Mo by the tail to prevent him from running away from her. When Mo was caught by the young lady, she carried Mo to the getaway auto by cradling Mo.
However after the young lady attempted to take Mo as her pet as soon as she got into the getaway car, Mo managed to escape by jumping out the window of the getaway auto back to his home safe and sound.
As soon as the young lady attempted to kidnap Mo, Samuel’s cellphone rang alerting him of the attempted robbery of his cat, he then went outside to pick up his cat and take him home where is safe.
The attempted kidnapping was reported to the Omaha Police Department. Officer Angela Sands said after looking at the video of the attempted kidnapping of Mo, she believes that the teenager acted on a dare from her friends to kidnap a cat.
The attempted kidnapping of Mo has been given to the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office to be reviewed if criminal charges will be filed or the case be closed for now.
I am just starting to wonder if people today have a daredevil attitude of attempting to commit crime when there are video cameras around to catch every movement?
Technology has contributed greatly to this.
That is true since technology assists the police to solves cases in court which beats the “My word versus your word” in a court case.
I agree with you, people should realize by now there are cameras everywhere!
I remember some signs before the invention of camera that read “Beware of dog.”
I guess the girl took the term cat burglar rather literally.
That is likely what happened since the police officer from Omaha said the teen was acting on a dare from her friends.
Yes since some people today will do anything to get their “Fifteen minutes of fame.”
Unfortunately many American teens have been raised with the idea that they can have whatever they want. Combine that with their feelings of invincibility and they will try anything.
I remember one Mississippi State Trooper named Captain Collins saying the horror stories of teens who drive autos like maniacs because they think they are invincible. Some of his stories included having to tell the parents of the deceased that their child bought the farm in an auto accident. It broke his heart as well as the parents.
That’s not a job I would ever want.
Neither would I since his stories of seeing kids die would break my heart as well.
I don’t understand why anyone would want to steal a cat when there is never a shortage of strays
I guess the thief wanted to join a group. I agree with you there many strays who want to be adopted.
So you’re suspecting it was a test or initiation? That makes a lot more sense…
According to the Omaha Police Report they believe that the would be thief was pressured to do something against her will.
She did it under duress? That’s right up there with “they started it” and the Nuremberg defense…
Such a weird story. Luckily, cats are smart animals.
Cats are very clever since they follow their instincts.
