Randers, Denmark- A zoo is hoping for the return of three rare turtles.

Officials at the Randers Tropical Zoo said three Burmese Star turtles were taken from their exhibit during visiting hours on Sunday.

Employees say the fences in the exhibit are too high for the turtles to have escaped on their own (plus...how would you NOT catch them? They're turtles).

The zoo says it was attempting to breed the turtles and will not press charges against the thieves if they return the animals unharmed. [UPI]

Maybe they should check their security cameras for giant rats. You never know.

Palm Harbor, FL- A perp tried to pull a prank straight out of The Simpsons.

Police found a guy lingering near a park after hours and warned him that he was trespassing.

When the cop asked him his name, he said . . . "Ben Dover." He then gave the cop the middle finger and tried to run away.

Shockingly, Ben Dover wasn't the dude's real name.
