Winnipeg police were called shortly before 6 p.m. on March 26 when a woman spotted a man breaking into her garage. The man left the garage a short time later and moved on to a neighbor's garage, where he stole a lawn mower, a mountain bike, a blanket and a stuffed toy dog. The man eventually returned to the first garage, where police found him nearly two hours later passed out inside a boat.

Crown attorney, John Peden, said, "He was lying there with his genitalia exposed next to the stuffed dog and,while the police report doesn't describe it this way, the dog might be appropriately characterized as now being anatomically correct, as opposed to its condition before he removed it."

The report doesn't tell us whether the toy dog was male or female. It is, however, definitely stuffed. A stiff penalty called for I think, whether the bitch was asking for it or not.
