https://www.npr.org/2018/07/31/634243745/shark-in-a-stroller-heist-ends-with-animals-safe-return-to-san-antonio-aquariumA shark named Helen's weekend adventure is now over, after she was smuggled out of the San Antonio Aquarium in a baby stroller on Saturday. Police say they found the shark at the home of the main suspect in the heist. Both are now in captivity.
Video footage of the bizarre theft fed intense public curiosity and led to solid tips from the public on the animal's likely whereabouts. Aquarium officials welcomed the shark back on Monday night.
"Ms Helen (our horn shark) is in quarantine right now resting. She is doing good so far, and we are hopeful she will recover fully from the shock, and return to her home she is used to," the San Antonio Aquarium said via its Facebook page.
If you're picturing the shark tucked into a damp blanky and wearing a bonnet as she was wheeled past security guards, the truth of the matter isn't quite that evocative but it's nearly as unlikely.
