Bunny Napper Nabbed in Dahlonega

The real Alice was not available for a photograph.

Alice, a fluffy brown bunny, was kidnapped right from his (yes his...Alice is a boy) home in a classroom at Lumpkin Middle School. Alice, the beloved pet bunny of LMS teacher Suzanne Davis, was snatched during a break-in at the school.

While the break-in was bad enough - the vandals spray painted a boys' bathroom - the bunny napping was un-nerving. Not only did the kidnappers take Alice, but they also grabbed his food and water bottle, too.

Alice, who is house-broken, spends his day watching the kids in Ms. Davis' science classes. So, you can imagine who upset the six graders were over their missing bunny.

The Lumpkin County Sheriff's deputies were called in to investigate Alice's disappearance (oh and the spray painting, too.) The two deputies, who admitted they had never worked on a bunny napping case, used video surveillance footage to identify and track the culprit down.

When the sheriff's department "raided" the bunny napper's home, Alice was found alive and well, hidden in a backyard shed.

The story of Alice, the stolen bunny, made the front page of the local Dahlonega newspaper. Seeing two smiling deputies and a cuddly brown bunny made a good news story. In today's world, we need more happy bunny stories.
