Two Toledo officers watched on Wednesday as a squirrel
quickly snatched a flag off its wooden dowel and ran off with it. Lt. James
Brown told The Blade newspaper (http://bit.ly/nBGR5A) the bushy-tailed critter
was too quick to catch.
Later, police noticed a squirrel hanging out on a tree
branch outside a third-floor window at their headquarters building. They also
spotted a squirrel’s nest made of leaves and branches — and at least two of the
little flags.
Brown says at least three of the flags have gone missing in
recent days.
He’s careful to point out he can’t prove all were the work
of the same squirrel.
