Pilfered parrot used to stuff bra, cops say
Woman busted while trying to exchange rare Greenwing for vintage car
FORT MYERS, Fla. - A woman has been arrested for padding her bra — with a stolen rare parrot.
Jill Knispel, 35, hid the Greenwing parrot in her bra after taking it from her employer, Baby Exotic Birds of Englewood, police said.
When Knispel went to trade the bird for a vintage car, she told the car’s owner how she got the animal, according to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Turns out the car’s owner is friends with the man who owns the $2,000 bird.
DNA tests confirmed the bird’s identity and Knispel was charged with grand theft.
“The circumstances of the case are the most bizarre I’ve ever encountered,” said veteran wildlife investigator Lenny Barshinger.
This raises a few questions.
1. What are the chances that the person you're trying to sell a stolen bird to knows the person you stole the bird from? (Yes, I know I butchered that sentence with my grammar, but please forgive me.)
2. What "vintage car" do you think you can get in trade for a parrot? Yes, it was a rare parrot worth $2000, but I think you'd need to throw in some more cash for the "vintage" car. That is, unless you're buying an old Ford Pinto.
3. No matter how buxom you are, don't you think someone just might notice that you have something live inside your bra?
