"Retail crimes don&amp;#x27;t usually involve cute little floppy-eared creatures, but this morning Racked NY reported that Miss Cooper, one of two resident bunny rabbits at the Alexander Berardi store in Soho, New York City, was bunny-napped by two sticky-fingered criminals dressed up as cowboys. True story.Photo courtesy of Racked NY According to DNA Info: &amp;quot;The fluffy, floppy-eared brown-and-white cutie was snatched by a man with a handlebar mustache and a black Stetson and his female pardner, dressed up in a white cowboy hat.&amp;quot; The Alexander Berardi store has long been home to Jack and Miss Cooper&amp;amp;#8212;who previously starred in Racked NY&amp;#x27;s Store Sidekicks cute-animals photo series. &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m sad,&amp;amp;#8221; Berardi told Queerty in his first interview after the crime was discovered. &amp;amp;#8220;A lot of people in the neighborhood come visit the rabbits. The kids come by afterschool.&amp;amp;#8221; Berardi tells Queerty that the prime suspects are a pair of self-described &amp;quot;artists&amp;quot; who often came into the store to ask about the rabbits&amp;amp;#8212;about their breed and how they&amp;#x27;re kept overnight. &amp;amp;#8220;They were probably planning this for a while,&amp;amp;#8221; Berardi told Queerty. &amp;amp;#8220;They were dressed as cowboys when they came into the store last night. I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know if it&amp;amp;#8217;s a publicity stunt, I just want my rabbit back. She has a very specific diet.&amp;amp;#8221; What kind of savages would kidnap a helpless little bunny? Outraged? Sound off in the comments, please. UPDATE 3-19: As if this story couldn&amp;#x27;t get any weirder: According to a report on Gawker today, Miss Cooper was returned to the store in a fishtank filled with Apple Jacks. Yes, the cereal. She is unharmed."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
