Hunt Is On For Idiot Turd Burglar

News Edition: 04/01/2005

SAN ONOFRE - Park Rangers are searching for a gunman who swiped a bag of poop from a man out walking his dog. The man told rangers that he was out walking his dog, Corky, on Monday when a man in his 20s ran up behind him and grabbed the bag he was holding.

When the gunman discovered what was in it, he threw it down in disgust, pointed his gun at the 45-year-old man and demanded money, Ranger detective Dairywimple said. He then aimed his .22-caliber semiautomatic at Corky and pulled the trigger twice but the gun didn't fire, Dairywimple said.

The robber ran to a waiting SUV and fled the scene, rangers said. A photographer at the point who specializes in speeding vehicles managed to capture the fleeing car on film and has posted it on a blog called SAN-O DAZE.
