ADVERTISEMENTPolice said the homeowner, who was in her basement at the time, heard her pet’s hellos but ignored him because the bird was reportedly unreliable. “I thought it was just my neighbor’s son going by and he does like to talk to him sometimes,” she was quoted as saying. When she went upstairs, Engel noticed that something was off; her purse was in an “awkward position.” She then checked and found out that her phone, credit card and some cash had been stolen. “I made sure Ollie was okay because that would be devastating for me if something happened to him,” Engel was quoted as saying. Thanks to the neighbors, police were able to find the culprit, who was not named, later that same evening, the report said.
