On April 2nd, a woman dubbed the Badger Bandit has sparked a manhunt after swiping a 35-year-old stuffed mascot from a cozy pub in Wimborn, Dorset. Mr. Badger, who's been a fixture at the odd fellow's arms alongside Mrs. Badger for decades, vanished last Friday, March 27th, leaving his. Companions staring out the window alone. CCTV footage copped the thief, part of a group of five, grabbing him from the window sill and stuffing him under her scarf before bulting. She even celebrated at a nearby weather-spoons with a toy right on her lap like a trophy. Landlord Kalim Brooks is heartbroken, calling it tampering with history since the Badger can't be replaced like stolen glasses. The pub even names its Badger beers after the pair, and locals are whispering, she's just a tourist, Grockelsturring trouble. Now they're posting appeals on social media with a reward for tips leading to his safe return. Especially with a street party coming up on April, 11th in their village of 15,000.

Speculations running wild online, but no leads yet. Fingers crossed the band it comes clean, and reunites the Badgers before the party's
