In an unusual twist of fate for a furry fugitive in Noblesville, a four-legged escapee found itself in the back of an NFD truck around the corner of 10th and Carbon. The Noblesville Police Department, perhaps with a wry smile, took to social media to announce the capture - and subsequent search for the owners - of the adventurous animal. The announcement included a light-hearted jab at the animal's "questionable decision making," according to a social media post from the Noblesville Police Department.

Fortunately, the community response was swift, and the department updated the public with good news: the owners were found. The department expressed their gratitude online, emphasizing the power of a shared effort to resolve such a situation. "UPDATE: Owners were located! Thank you!!" read the post, conveying more than just a simple resolution but an understanding of community amidst the ambiguity of real life. 

The brief time the animal spent in police custodianship was highlighted by a quip suggesting that "wearing blue is a lot better than red," signaling the police’s approach to handling the incident with levity. Concerned residents, or those who recognize the value of keeping tabs on local animal adventurers, were encouraged to call the non-emergency number provided by the department should they have information. "If he is yours or you know who he belong to please call non-emergency at 317.773.1300."
