Motel Parking Lot Pickup

Dear Readers,

I sat at my desk the entire past week with a large block of vellum paper tirelessly sketching up several plans of how to cleverly lift two camels and a tiger from a zoo.  To my dismay, I couldn't seem to figure out the perfect execution.  The closest I came involved a 1994 boombox and a magician from Thailand, but I couldn't find a way to secure either one.

I have had many sleepless nights trying to figure out how a 23 year old, someone MY OWN AGE, managed to steal two camels and a tiger.  This morning, as I sat on the can cruising the news app on my iPhone, I found my answer!

I was a little disappointed.  First of all, my 23 year old trump card did not act alone.  He had a 44 year old companion on his side.  I never thought of adding this kind of daddy seasoning, but it's all starting to make sense to me now!  I read on...

As it turns out, they didn't break into the Bowmanville zoo as I, among many others I'm sure, assumed.  These animals were pretty much free for the picking from (get ready) A MOTEL PARKING LOT.  The perps hitched the animal trailer to their pickup and brought them to their farm in Edmond de Grantham, just east of Montreal.  The animals were en route to a circus in Newfoundland.

The animals were a-okay when they were finally found, and the tipster was paid off.  So who do I feel sorry for?  It's a slippery slope considering the zoo was lending out their animals to a circus, which in my opinion is rather shameful.

I'm going back to my drawing board.  If the zoos are going to lend their animals to circuses of all places, then it's my vocation to intersect!  I got my eye on your Bowmanville!
