Thief steals US flag from man in chicken suit

[IMG][/IMG]

MANCHESTER, Conn. (AP) — Manchester, Conn., police are investigating the theft of an American flag from a man in a chicken suit.

The Hartford Courant reports (http://cour.at/ML9gUJ ) that Eric Didio was waving the flag and dancing outside a newly renovated Boston Market restaurant Wednesday as part of his job, when a man jumped from a car, grabbed the flag and took off.

A customer who witnessed the theft called police.

The newspaper reports that the dispatcher had a hard time relaying the call to officers, breaking into laughter while trying to say "chicken suit."

Nathan Atwood, the restaurant's general manager, says he stood beside the 23-year-old Didio for the rest of his shift to provide security.

No arrests have been made.

Perhaps the "thief" was merely trying to disarm a chicken hawk. Wilms Jun 2012 #3

That narrows down the suspects. They could also do a sweep of anti-chicken activists.

dancing on the sidewalk while wearing a chicken suit is a GOOD JOB! A job like that will pay off your student loan in about 30 or 40 years!
