The mystery of the missing donation toys police were collecting has been solved. The thief is very cute.
Officers with the Franklin Police department had worked diligently to collect toys for needy children this holiday season, but noticed that some of those toys were disappearing, according to CNN affiliate WFXT. "When Ben saw the toys, he thought they all belonged to him," Deputy Chief James Mill told the station. Ben tried to outrun officers when they caught him carrying a baby doll in its carrier by the handle. Police were unable to recover the toys from Ben, due to an excess of slobber. Officers have instead replaced the stolen toys, the station reported.
