Thief Steals Van and Finds a Lion Inside

Posted by samzenpus on from the surprise-passenger dept.

A German car thief got a little more than he bargained for when he stole a van that was transporting Circus Probst's five-year-old lion. A few hours later the van was found crashed into a road sign and the thief has yet to be found. Caesar the lion was unhurt but appeared to be suffering from some indigestion.

    Is there any human blood/flesh inside the van?

      The indigestion remark was invented by the usual Slashdot accuracy and isn't in the real article.

      It's not only the usual inaccuracy, but also the usual puerility and lameness. Sad, really.
