For a Doll?

Are you f#$%ing serious?

• 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.
