    I’m pretty sure this would require surgery to remove, there is no “digesting” that

    That word “recovers” is doing a lot of lifting.

    If you poop out the stolen item, I think we can move past calling them a “suspected” thief.

      They obviously have to safeguard against the very probable case in which the thief involuntarily and without knowledge swallowed the item. /s

        Maybe this man was simply yawning, and the real thief dropped it in his open mouth. And the man, not knowing what was happening, accidentally swallowed it

    20k sounds like a bargain for a Faberge egg. I’ve heard they go for hundreds of thousand

        Tell the suspect he has to keep eating what comes out until it’s found.

    That was quick. I guess he won’t get charges for obstructing the law, then. AFAIK he’s the first mammal to lay a golden egg

      They should keep him for extended observation to see if he can lay any more. You know, for science.
