Sir! Regret to inform that The
Prisoner Newer Hamster has escaped. It appears that the side door of his
prison cage was inadequately fastened and he has made a break for it, sir. Personnel on site sadly incapacitated at present and so unable to instigate full search. Will send in specialist search and rescue team when they
finish training duties get home from school, sir.

Sir! Delighted to inform that The
Prisoner Newer Hamster is safely back in his
prison cage. Trail of
bait tempting food treats did the trick. Always helps to be informed of individual's weak points, sir. All personnel involved aware that The Newer Hamster's laziness is exceeded only by his greediness. Have instructed specialist search and rescue team to stand down and have ordered extra security measures to be implemented for the future. Recommend maximum security
prison cage, sir.

Excellent! Made me chuckle for ages!
So glad The Hamster was safely tucked up in his own house by the end of the report!
LOL! Great report Mel and I agree with Cheri - we need a photo of the Newer Hamster :)
Oh well done to the Search and Rescue team
Thanks for the laugh! Glad the escapee was found! :)
glad the rescue/capture was a success!
At least the search and rescue team did not have to take up the floor boards as we did when the hamster escaped....and we were only looking after him for the weekend!!
Oh, this is just such a brilliant report!! Love it! having moved various pieces of funiture in search for an escaped hamster myself I know the relief once they are safe back in their homes!! xx
Ah, the hamsters . . . they always prey on the weak and infirm. Lucky for you, you had able-bodied back up.

OOh you really need to get out Mel. Your post is soo funny and reminds me of the night I nearly died of shock when 'something' (turned out to be Annie the hamster) ran across my pillow in the middle of the night!!!
Obviously the Newer Hamster isn't too lazy if he got himself out of prison & behind a freezer. :)
Brilliant post.
One of our hamster's used to escape from his cage too. Usually went behind the gas fire!!!!!!! Had to tempt him out with tasty treats too!
What was his punishment for escaping? Solitary confinement?!
lol
We lost a hampster up the chimney once and although we managed to recapture him he was black with soot and we thought that he would die, he was as clean as ever the next morning and full of beans by that night. Resilient little fellows
LOL!! I can so identify as our last hamster was a proper Houdini, but tempting treats did the trick every time!! Love how you presented this & it does indeed beg to be committed to a LO!! :D
ha ha!! you have made me smile this evening. At least your newer hampster didn't chew through your kettle wire and nearly blow you up!! xx
Oooh you have SPAM!
Our hamsters were suckers fro broccoli (and stereo wires). Very funny post Mel - thanks for the giggle!
well written loved your post today hope you are doing ok xxx
Glorious! You've really made me smile! Reminds me of my husband's story about their escapee of a hamster who used to hide inside the leather sofa...
So glad the prisoner, urr....newer hamster is back safely in his prison, urr ....cage! Great writing!!!
LOL!!!! I think the best part of this story was the observation:
"Hamsters laziness is exceeded only by his greediness"
FUNNY! Though, I must say, that sometimes food will tempt me too, if it is really good food =-)
one of our hamsters couldn't resist escaping.... but also couldn't resist a tunnel. So when curled up somewhere safe would suddenly see a tunnel appear and couldn't resist exploring this - usually got in and along a ways to find food and we'd move the entire tunnel/tube to attach it to home ;)
Looking forward to seeing the scrapbook page of the escapee and report ;)
LOL!!!!
Hahaha, this actually had me giggling out loud. Brilliant!
Ha, ha, ha, this really made me laugh :)
LOL Thanks for the great laugh this morning and I think Ruth is right.
