Police in Switzerland managed to recover the handbag, but the purse snatcher slipped away into the forest. The cops were outfoxed by a fox.
The incident happened late last month when police got a phone call from a woman saying a fox stole her handbag.
The woman was in Riehen, near the northern city of Bale. She said she was working when she suddenly saw a fox running off with her handbag in its mouth.
The fox made off with her wallet and house keys, said police spokesman Nicolas Drechsler.
A man tried to help by running after the animal, “but the fox was too fast for him,” Drechsler said.
When the police arrived, they searched and found the handbag under a bush, some 50m from where it was taken.
Police deduced that “the fox could not take the bag into its lair because the bag was too bulky,” Drechsler said.

瑞士的警察總算找回了手提包,但搶走這個皮包的竊賊卻一溜煙地跑進森林裡。這群警察被一隻狐狸騙得團團轉。
這起事件發生在上個月底,警方接到一名女子報案,說有一隻狐狸偷了她的手提包。
這名女子當時在瑞士北部巴塞爾市附近的里恩鎮,她說她工作的時候,忽然看到一隻狐狸叼著她的手提包跑走了。
警方發言人尼可拉斯.崔許斯勒表示,這隻狐狸偷走了她的錢包和鑰匙。
一位見義勇為的男子緊追在後,「但狐狸跑得比他快多了,」崔許斯勒說。
警方抵達現場、四處搜尋後,在離手提包被偷的地點五十公尺左右的樹叢下找到這只手提包。
崔許斯勒說,警方推斷,「因為這個皮包太大了,所以那隻狐狸沒辦法把它帶回巢穴。」
結果他們並未逮捕到犯人,因為這個狡猾的小偷成功脫逃了。(法新社�翻譯:袁星塵)
Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice. Japanese people have enjoyed noodles for over 1,000 years. The first noodles came from China and were introduced around 800 CE. As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon. Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
Drive-through (or drive-thru) restaurants provide people with the immense convenience of being able to purchase and pick up meals without needing to leave their vehicles. These restaurants have been around for decades, and their success has spawned a number of equally handy services. The drive-through concept originated with the drive-in restaurant, the first of which was established in the US in 1921. Patrons would order and eat the food that was delivered to their cars by workers called “carhops.” Ten years later, a drive-through service was introduced, but it was not until 1947 that the first exclusively drive-through restaurant opened its
