<p>My father kept his old leg prosthesis in the trunk of his car in case he ever needed it. His car was broken into and the prosthesis stolen. Sad I know, but we have gotten so many laughs and jokes out of it.</p>
<p>I had a similar question asked of me, the pet store owner. Who would steal a baby parrot? BAD PEOPLE steal things. Not my neighbors, not my customers, but BAD PEOPLE. Isn’t it obvious?</p>
<p>As the father of a professional performing musician, my personal feeling is that the thief should be hunted down, flogged, dragged in chains to an elementary strings class, strapped to a chair and be made to listen to these sounds for the rest of their miserable life. </p>
<p>But alas, our Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishment.</p>
