ATTENTION ALL FARNBROUGH, HAMPSHIRE UNITS
Be on the lookout.
Key Quote Apparently Intended To Reassure UK Shark Owners: "We believe this may have been a targeted burglary of a shark that is extremely rare in the UK."
(Thanks to Jeff Meyerson)
Update: Here's another story about a tragedy involving pet sharks belonging to British people. What the hell is going on over there?
(Thanks to DavCat)
So is it the shark that is rare, the burgled shark that is rare, or burglary in general that is rare? A little help, Mr. Language Person?

*knock knock knock*
"Who's there?"
"Candygram."
Key line by woman who clearly has too much time on her hands:
"It's very upsetting for us as the babies have lost their mother and we cannot breed anymore," she said.

They won't get far on fins.

Maybe the shark went walkies.

Me thinks that shark has been magically turned into a plate of sushi by now.

I will be making it a point to not go to England for my own safety.

Totally unrelated, but a few pages away, is the resturant having a "shark fin soup" and "shark steaks" dinner special....

Did you check out The Sun's "related story":
I found a dolphin in my garden.
Maybe it's time.

Suppose that's better than the pickup line, "Say babe, want to see the dolphin in my pants?"

"The marble shark - one half of the only breeding pair in the UK - was taken from a garden in Farnborough, Hampshire, over the weekend.
The 2ft long female mottled brown shark..."
Just slap a testosterone meter on the male shark and take him out for a drive, he'll act as a homing beacon.

Those sharks aren't dead. They're probably just pining for the fjords.
