Rufus, the Wimbledon Hawk, Found...He's safe

Rufus, the Wimbledon hawk stolen by thieves during the first week of the tennis tournament, has been found safe and well, police in London said late Sunday.

The American Harris hawk, who deters pigeons from the All England Club, was stolen along with his box overnight between Thursday and Friday.

He was handed in to an office of the national animal charity RSPCA in Putney, south west London, and is back in his owners' hands, police said.

(not on camera) so they had to take it away for cleaning. That'll teach 'em to work with animals ...
