A pet store owner used money from a Girl Scouts donation jar to pay a prostitute and then gave her an exotic monkey as a tip, according to police.
(...)
The investigation began when police received reports of burglaries at the Zany Zoo Pet Store on March 1 and March 6. Items reported stolen included $7,000 in Girl Scouts donation money, a laptop computer and a galago primate named Gooey.
In the course of the investigation into the burglaries, police discovered surveillance video from neighboring businesses showed that McClain was the one who broke into his own store.
The galago was recovered by Eugene police on March 17 after officers said they located the out-of-town prostitute at a hotel in Springfield. Officers said the woman was cooperative and turned over the animal.
