Jill Knispel, of Englewood, FL heisted a juvenile Greenwing parrot from her place of employment Baby Exotic Birds of Englewood by stuffing it in her brassiere. She then proceeded to attempt to trade the bird, valued at $2,000, for some type of unspecified vintage car. "Loose Lips" Knispel told the car's owner how she acquired the parrot, and in a twist of fate, it turned out that the man knew the bird's rightful owner. Oops. What we're wondering is what kind of car she was trading the bird for? A '61 Valiant 4-door? A near-mint '76 AMC Pacer? A Dodge Conquest? A small block-powered Vega? After all, it is Florida... [Thanks to the lovely Nixie for the tip.]
