Tourist found guilty of stealing a flamingo from a Las Vegas enclosure

bbc.co.uk

A tourist has been found guilty after stealing a flamingo from an enclosure in Las Vegas. I have so many questions, mostly about the logistics of walking around with a flamingo. Vegas really does bring out the worst ideas in people. What's the most baffling thing you've seen someone try to take home from a trip?

Honestly how did nobody stop them before they got anywhere? flamingos are not subtle animals
