of Bam Bam, their buck rabbit.

They discovered late last week his hutch door had been unlatched.

Police spokesman Sgt. John Dale said the children were extremely upset by the theft, adding the rabbit had just become a father.

"They would like Bam Bam returned as soon as possible,'' he said.

Bam Bam is brown, black and white. Anyone who can help find him should contact P.c. Jim Fullerton at 234-1010.
