Thieves Steal Dead Rabbit

Baden, Austria (AHN) - Two thieves who ran off with a handbag from a woman waiting for a train ride in Baden might end up as the biggest joke in the underworld once they find out that their loot contained nothing but a dead rabbit.

According to Hilda Morgenstein, 42, she was waiting for a train ride with her daughter which would take them to the countryside where she intends to bury her pet rabbit when the muggers attacked.

"They saved us the trip," a shocked but elated Morgenstein said. "I told my daughter they were angels and were taking bunny to a better place."

Although nothing valuable was lost in the unusual heist, police are still conducting search for the pair and the remains of the bunny.
