Grand Theft Zoo

Ok I though I would share this true story that a friend of mine told me.

She was in charge of a group of about 15 children who were going to Edinburgh Zoo. They had a great time one of the boys had too much of a good time.
After seeing a parade of Penguin's both young and old he decided that he wanted one.
So he put a baby one in his bag. They went home and half way back one of the children told my friend that this boy had something in his backpack.
She opened it up and sure enough he had a baby penguin there.
She didn't know what to do so she had to have the bus turn around and take it back.
Fortunatly the zoo didn't press any charges

I still crack up at the thought of this boy stealing a penguin, from one of the Uk's biggest zoos

How did he catch it?

Makes me laugh that a boy was able to steal a penguin from a zoo.

Ok i found out how he got it, apparently there was a little procession of the penguins it, he simply walked up grabbed it and put it in his bag, it didn't make any noise until they were on the bus heading back

I want to make a short film about it, call it something like Grand Theft Penguin or something silly like that
