Pet Kangaroo Escapes Again, Keeps Colorado Police Hopping Mad

BOULDER, CO (Worthy Satire) – A mischievous kangaroo is once again on the loose in Colorado, bouncing through backyards and baffling local law enforcement in what’s being described as “a marsupial-fueled mockery of public safety.”

The kangaroo, known to neighbors as “Hops McGraw,” slipped away from his owner’s property for the third time this month, prompting a flurry of police calls and one officer reportedly Googling, “How to detain a kangaroo without getting kicked in the chest.”

“He’s faster than a shoplifter on Black Friday,” said Officer Larry Denton, still winded from a failed pursuit through a local playground. “We laid out a perimeter, but he cleared it in two hops. It’s like trying to arrest a fuzzy basketball with legs.”

Residents reported sightings near a Little League field, a drive-thru, and at one point, bounding majestically across a high school track meet. “The kids thought he was the new mascot,” said one coach. “He beat our best sprinter.”

The city council is reportedly considering deploying a team of Australian exchange officers or at least subscribing to a few episodes of Crocodile Hunter for guidance. In the meantime, the Boulder Police Department has added mandatory high-knees and boomerang drills to morning briefings.
