    Police Investigate Rodent in a Roadster
    Sun Sep 8, 9:56 AM ET

    LONDON (Reuters) - British detectives are investigating the mystery of a hamster found driving a toy racing car along a promenade at a northern seaside resort, newspapers said on Saturday.

    The hamster, nicknamed Speedy, was handed in by a member of the public who found him cruising through Cleveleys, near Blackpool in the modified toy, which he powered by a treadmill.

    "It is a model hotrod racing car with large wheels at the back and small ones at the front," the Daily Express quoted Constable Quentin Allen as saying.

    "In the center is a typical hamster wheel you can buy at any pet shop... As the hamster went round and round it powered the car along at high speed."

    Officers removed Speedy from the car after he made several escape attempts from their front desk, and they took him to a nearby animal sanctuary. Detectives are appealing for the owner to come forward.

    Here's the original source.

    So, what did the police arrested him for

    Being drunk behind the wheel? Speeding, Driving on the sidewalk or being a miniature giant space hamster? :D :D

    That was pretty funny. Wonder if they're going to charge the owner with any crime if he's willing to admit to having the hamster.

    Or, for those of you who like anime, maybe this was Hamtaro going to save another friend.

    I like Anime but I hate that show. I don't get what the owner can get in trouble for?

    Maybe it was Boo, trying to escape from Minsc! After all, Minsc DID hide Boo in a place on his body, better left to old sages... :rolling:

    I'm not sure if England has laws like the ones in America, but these charges come to mind: negligence and animal rights violations
