A gentleman wanted for car theft thought he could outsmart Greater Manchester Police officers searching a house by hiding in a Teddy Bear. But the 18-year-old's ruse failed when an officer "noticed a large bear breathing," and on further investigation found Joshua Dobson.

Dobson was sentenced to nine months in a young offenders institution, according to BBC News.
