Owl Kills Drunken Thief

You have to be really drunk, really stupid, and really bad at thievery to let an owl kill you during a heist.

From Shortnews here:

Workers at the Moscow Zoo made a bizarre and tragic discovery when they found the body of a man wearing only boxer shorts in the owl cage.

The deceased, Alexander Luparev, apparently at some point in the night snuck into the cage of a Siberian long-tailed tawny owl. His clothes were scattered around the cage, and a half-empty litre bottle of vodka was also found.

“The owl is still in a state of shock,” zoo spokeswoman Natalya Istratova said Wednesday. She added that the owl was not eating or drinking and that she feared for its life.

This story mentions that he was a thief. I dunno about the rest of you, but I’m certain I could pummel an owl.
