The Sock Thief  3

A notorious criminal who goes by the name of “Rocco” and is easily recognised by his long ears and spaniel eyes recently stole a very rare and precious sock - one of only two of that particular kind in the house.

In the video below, he is caught on camera shortly after the theft of a sock. As you’ll see, he leaves his loot momentarily until he realises that an undercover agent (N) is moving in whereupon he grabs his swag and makes for his secret hideout (his bed under the kitchen table). After a brief negotiation, he comes forward and gives up the sock for a reward (fuss).

When the agent releases the sock back into the wild (throws it across the lounge) Rocco quickly recaptures it, bolts back to his hideout and returns empty handed after stashing it. After another brief negotiation, he collects the sock to return it (which he does) but then he changes his mind and callously throws the sock around in a display of extreme violence (play). Shortly after this outburst, he becomes bored of the sock, discards it and turns his back on it. After yet another brief negotiation and a couple of commands, he collects more reward.

In the end he agrees to try and mend his sock-stealing ways and shakes hands (paws) with the undercover agent to seal the deal.

The sound has been removed from the video because it contained incriminating evidence (me singing in the background).

If that movie doesn’t play, try the alternate format version (Sorenson3, 6.2Mb).

Nah, it wasn’t a Christmas sock — those are closely guard by the pixies in the Sock Vault. - Timmargh
