For a Doll?
Chicago police officers sprang into action, even using a helicopter, to rescue a Teddy bear stolen from a Downtown chocolate shop.
According to police scanner dispatch reports, officers used a helicopter to help track down Truffles, a 3-foot brown bear in a blue hat and overalls that was taken Friday night from his home at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory at 3 N. State St.
“Operation Teddy Bear, strong work,” an officer was heard saying Friday night.
The bear was in his usual spot in the window when a group of teenagers who had been hanging around outside went inside around 7:30 p.m. and took off with him, owner Tyson Minnick said.
“He got a wild ride around the city for about an hour,” Minnick said.
The teenagers tried to take off with Truffles, boarding a CTA Red Line L train, but they were stopped by police officers at the 35th Street station.
Oh, the Red Line....that explains everything.
Except for burning through helicopter money at $1,000 dollars per hour for a misdemeanor Theft that - were it a foot chase - would get you suspended for three days to start.

They probably tried to rape the damn thing. I can't wait to leave this fuckin' state.
The department is ran by incompetent supervisors. What changes did they get. Is the offender still in custody. Most of the supervisors with Gold Stars never even made a good felony arrest.
Today-“Truffles”. Tomorrow-the cash register, your wallet, watch, rings & cell phone.
On the positive side be happy some officers are still doing proactive police work.
This is beary good news. If Truffles was not found, the consequences might have been grizzly. The pandemonium and outrage that a beloved bear be stolen by some non demonized youths has been quelled.
I don't remember this kind of response for the theft and or vandalism of the Purple Cow, when there used to be a purple cow ice cream parlor next to the "22nd district annex and comfort station" (22.5) at 104th and western
Maybe the dispatcher thought it was a theft of REAL truffles? You know a once of black truffles is upwards of $600.00! Maybe the dispatcher in her/his spare time is a gourmet chef. From other posts about dispatch a lot of them sure enjoy eating.......
Just so I’m clear on this matter.
The police can’t chase a guy on foot with a gun, but can dispatch PH1 to recover a stolen Teddy Bear? Ok, no wonder this place is so fucked up and ass backwards.
Uh scc that’s still a crime no matter how small. It’s also a way to arrest the animal and begin their lengthy career.
Nope. Dumb shit
In other news Dude 44 was rescued
Got to love DJT & each man involved, real men doing real work & supported by their bosses
Geezus, learn your orders. There’s NOTHING that says you can’t pursue someone with a gun
Like that matters.
"Truffles" clearly stated that he wants JUSTICE!! Besides, wasn't this actually a kidnapping? Maybe the Sheriff in Arizona can learn a few things from this.
Hope City Hall bills Rocky Mountain Chocolate's Minnick, and collects every last dime. Why the Rambo response? Average Chicago car-theft victim doesn't get that same kid-glove service, even if they're car is a Maybach.
Half of them are still land whales but the other half now found Ozempic and the glp peptides now they have a weird bloated-flat-shapeless look to them.
It made all the news outlets, while real crime is ignored.

This is what happens when you appoint a bunch of stupid fuckers to run a police department
Good at dropping envelopes of $$$ though.
It was Eddie Burkes teddy bear..
The loss of a Teddy Bear can be extremely traumatic!
Teddy bears lives matter!
Saw the clip on the news. At least it was something positive instead of the daily anti police horse shit the media shovels at us. I’ll take the win.
Powerful!! Much like the raid to rescue the F15 WSO in Iran!!! How much more humiliation can you guys take.
Silly sarcasm blossoms whimsically and the beef is about what?
Wrong on that. Don Jerome made arrests. Criminals jumped in his car begging to go to jail when he showed up.
Glad to see the streets are still like fairy tale land there.
While helos are sent up to find a stuffed animal...
MEET THE FAIRFAX KILLERS: Top violent illegal alien criminals wreaking havoc on major American suburb
[Jackass Party] leaders in Virginia’s most populous county are facing criticism over an ongoing "epidemic" of VIOLENCE BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS THAT HAS LEFT 13 DEAD in a major American suburb near the nation’s capital.
'These are the criminals that Virginia Democrats care about more than your family’s safety,' the Virginia GOP said.
Seven illegal immigrants have been arrested in Fairfax County, a suburb of Washington, D.C....for violent attacks ranging from infanticide to a machete killing and gang activity...
Long piece with mug shots for all...

So who'll be branded with the department nicknames of Yogi and Boo-Boo for this caper?
Oh....those crazy yutes......dey just be funnin.
Anybody in trouble for calling it a brown bear.
Bear down, Chigago cops
This would be reactive police work. Crime occurred then police acted. A little re-tred work may do you some good kid.
Future Demo-crat voters
God Forbid a bunch of officers had fun doing something funny like hunting down the teddy bear from their normal chaos... Jeez a bunch of sour grapes around here lmfao
Does this mean I no longer have to take off the bear head after my next strip show?
An absolutely useless tac team
Thank you, 001st district tac ranger.
The Sun-Times didn't mention the bear's race, so the story complied with AP journalistic standards. And brown-on-brown crime never makes headlines anyway.
Enter a premise with the intent to commit a theft or felony therein is a BURGLARY!! Nice job officers!! Keep the business owners in the city!
So, I'm one of the Sgts involved in this incident. A few points to correct:
No one above the rank of Sgt was involved.
Another sgt did ask for a paper car to be sent instead of ARS, because we all knew it would hit the news.
I did ask on Citywide1 for Mass Transit to look for the bear... Partially for the pure novelty of sending a flash for a giant teddy bear.
The helicopter was NOT requested. But they usually patrol the Dan Ryan, so when it came out that the train was stopped at the Red Line, they basically jumped in to oversee the train search.
The huge turnout was pretty much just cops being cops and trying to be part of something weird, like chasing down a giant teddy bear.
And yeah, the story was passed along for some "feel goods" for our people. And I apologize for nothing.
As always, stay safe
Brown Bears Matter!
Now here's a great REAL bear story w/pix to put a smile on your face -
Abandoned bear cub, 'under arrest for cuteness,' grabbed by state troopers from interstate highway
Animal grabbed from precarious position on busy Jersey highway
New Jersey State Police troopers rescued a young bear cub found alone along Interstate 78 Wednesday afternoon.
Troopers from Troop B out of the Perryville Station responded at around 1:37 p.m. to reports of a lone cub spotted in a roadside ditch on I-78 East in Union Township, according to a New Jersey State Police Facebook post.
When officers arrived, they found the small bear by itself and in need of help.
The cub was safely secured and transported back to the station for temporary care before being turned over to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the post noted.
"Thanks to the swift response of the troopers, the cub is now safe and receiving the attention he needs," the post said.

Yes reactive at first, but then became proactive police work after the crime occurred.
All That needed to be done was a case report, but those officers went above and beyond by being proactive in that investigation.
Well said Sgt
Haha you didn't have to explain sir. It must have been a slow day at the blog.
