BERLIN - A German man who went on holiday left his stereo and lights on so that his pet hamster would not feel lonely in the empty apartment, a police spokesman said on Monday after breaking into it over fears the man may have died.
The spokesman for police in Bremen said police broke open the door after being alerted by neighbors that loud music was playing non-stop for five days and the lights were left on. No one answered the door when they knocked, police said.
“There was a fear the occupant might have been disabled or dead,” a police spokesman said. “All we found was a pet hamster. The occupant was away on holiday. A friend of his arrived and said he left the music on so the hamster wouldn’t feel lonely.”
The spokesman said the friend of the occupant, who is still on holiday and not reachable, told police she visited every few days to feed the golden hamster food and provide water. She promised to turn the music down and come by more often.
The music was left blaring for five days straight? Someone must be made to suffer.
I guess some people just don't take other people into considereation at all....
Yes, but at least the hamster didn't suffer.
And I know I'll be odd girl out here, but I like Torrid. It's kinda fun.
I love Torrid -- I'm just sad that their spring line has the overall theme of Bright Ugliness (or, perhaps, Ugly Brightness).
Raise your hand if you think Aimee should bring me a cookie to make up for it.
If Aimee had cookies, she would bring. Alas, no cookies. However.....
I just wanted to share that you can order cookies directly if you do not have a source 1-800 33-MINTS!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, msbelle!! May all things come to you pink and sparkly.
Yes, but at least the hamster didn't suffer.
Well it depends on what kind of music was played....
And now we return to.... Music for Hamsters, by Brian Eno....
"Another Silly Hamster Song", by Paul McCartney and Wings.
I actually bought GS cookies this weekend at a rugby tournament. that girl cleaned. up. Notwithstanding my 8 1/2 month pregnant sister in law sending my brother after the cookies double time when she walked by!
Quick, someone find all those old 'muskrat' posts and replace every 'muskrat' with 'hamster'....
Anyone else envisioning that scene from P. C. U. where they set the CD player to 100 replays of "Afternoon Delight" at maximum volume and then jammed all the doors to the room it was in?
What? No
Stray Cat Strut
