So you see squirrels can be rehabilitated from their hateful selves and turned into excellent citizens! Squirrel Sleuth Cracks Robbery Fri May 31,11:13 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) - Police in the west of England said on Friday they had recovered a cache of stolen property having been led to the hoard -- by a squirrel. "A 29 year old man was arrested at 1:20 a.m. suspected of burglary," a spokeswoman for Avon and Somerset Police told Reuters. "When officers returned to the scene of the crime they were met by a secret squirrel," she added, reading from the case-book. "The squirrel indicated it wanted the officers to follow it by running a little, stopping and then looking back before continuing." She said it then climbed a tree, at the base of which officers found four boxes of stolen crockery. "We are not keen to highlight this," said the spokeswoman. "We never like to encourage vigilantes."
