Bunny stops burglar

The thumping of a bunny's foot awakened a Madison woman early Saturday morning, the rabbit's rapid rapping allowing her to confront a burglar in her downtown apartment and scare him away.

The attempted burglary was at an apartment in the 500 block of North Pinckney Street about 3 a.m. Saturday.

The 25-year-old female told Madison police her pet bunny thumps its foot whenever someone comes in or near her residence, so when "Thumper" started his thumping, she woke up, saw a man in her apartment, yelled at him and scared him off.

Nothing was taken from her home.

The suspect is a white male, 5'5" tall, 150 lbs., with short hair.
