Rocky is back: The raccoon-shaped toothpick holder belonging to Bagelstein’s in North Dallas -- whose heinous heist was captured on the restaurant's surveillance system -- was stealthily returned on Wednesday morning, suffering only minor injuries.
The actual return went unperceived; owners Bob and Melinda Davidson spotted the treasured toothpick holder at approximately 11 a.m. at Bagelstein's entrance, swaddled in a blue plastic bag.
"He'd been drenched in Lysol -- I guess [the thief] figured we were going to lift her prints," said Melinda. "He looks a little grayer, but I think that's because of the stress of his trip."
The Davidsons quickly initiated a celebration of the return of Rocky.
"Oh yeah, we've got streamers up and we gave Rocky a party hat," Melinda said.

Channel 5 ran a story with video last night on the 10 o'clock news... coincidentally, right after "Law and Order: SVU". Video available here: http://www.nbc5i.com/video/index.html
Perhaps the culprit felt the heat and decided to come clean!
"In the criminal justice system, crimes involving Raccoons are considered especially heinous..."

I think I know where Rocky was while "missing." Enfield, CT!
Rabid raccoon attacks woman on porch
ENFIELD, Conn. (AP) -- An woman is undergoing rabies treatment after she was attacked on her porch by a rabid raccoon. Beverly Lanouette said the animal came up from behind Monday and latched onto her leg.
"It was a huge raccoon who meant business," she told WTNH-TV. "It was very angry and growling and wouldn't let go of my leg."
She said she beat the animal with a chair to get it off of her.

Gee, RobertB, I wonder where Channel 5 (and Channel 8 too) got the idea to do a story? And you don't need to go to their site to watch the video - we have it right here, from an article we ran several days ago, well before they stole the story from us: http://www.pegasusnews.com/news/2007/...

darn, i was hoping the thief would start sending pictures of Rocky visiting all parts of the world, like that travelling gnome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelli...
"Rocky raves about Rome", "Rocky digs the Grand Canyon", etc.
