    If you poop out the stolen item, I think we can move past calling them a “suspected” thief.

      They obviously have to safeguard against the very probable case in which the thief involuntarily and without knowledge swallowed the item. /s

        Maybe this man was simply yawning, and the real thief dropped it in his open mouth. And the man, not knowing what was happening, accidentally swallowed it

        Tell the suspect he has to keep eating what comes out until it’s found.

    That word “recovers” is doing a lot of lifting.

    20k sounds like a bargain for a Faberge egg. I’ve heard they go for hundreds of thousand

    That was quick. I guess he won’t get charges for obstructing the law, then. AFAIK he’s the first mammal to lay a golden egg

      They should keep him for extended observation to see if he can lay any more. You know, for science.
