00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.599
Callaroga Shark Media. Oh man, there's all kinds of across

2
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:13.519
the road jokes to be made, but a chicken definitely

3
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:16.800
made a wrong turn. Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with five

4
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.239
good news stories in Des Moines. The crowd was there

5
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:22.239
at the Buffalo Wild Wings. Do you see where we're

6
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:24.160
going with this? Yeah, they're eating dinner and all of

7
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.000
a sudden, a live chicken walks in. Staff and customers

8
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.320
had to call in the Animal Rescue League of Iowa.

9
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:32.479
There was a Facebook post that read, what the cluck

10
00:00:32.840 --> 00:00:35.719
talk about? A chicken on the wrong side of the road. Luckily,

11
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.520
an animal services officer was able to secure the poor,

12
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.840
confused hen and bring the hen back to the organization's

13
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.759
shelter for a health check and temporary housing. When a

14
00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.039
chicken wanders up to a place that serves two billion

15
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:49.039
wings a year, you want to be sure she doesn't

16
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.840
become part of the menu. The hen has been given

17
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:55.920
a name Choses, which is a mashup of chicken and Moses.

18
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:58.240
When I last checked, they were waiting to see if

19
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.039
an owner claimed a missing hen. Otherwise the hen will

20
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.719
be listed for adoption. Nice job by the folks at

21
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.640
the Pittsburgh International Airport. They went through the baggage carousel

22
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.760
to find a thirty four year old engagement ring. April

23
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.599
had just flown home. Her hand got pinched between her

24
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.400
suitcase and the luggage carousel's edge. She didn't notice anything

25
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.120
was wrong until she got home and noticed, Oh, my

26
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.959
diamond is gone. She raced back to the airport and

27
00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.280
combed the floor of the airport staff for ninety minutes.

28
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:29.040
No lock. She went home, but the airport guys they

29
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:31.920
kept going. They lifted steel panels and scraped grit from

30
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:36.280
beneath the machinery. Four hours later they found the diamond.

31
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:40.200
Very nice job by those folks. Good news for a bear.

32
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.359
Some wildlife experts in Michigan removed a plastic lid that

33
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:46.120
had been stuck around the bear's neck for two years.

34
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.439
The bear was first seen with the lid around its

35
00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:51.280
neck in twenty twenty three. One is a cub. State

36
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.640
experts have been looking for the cub ever since it

37
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:55.439
turned up again in May of this year. They were

38
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.120
able to safely trap their given anesthesia and cut the

39
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.480
lid off. They said the bear was an much better

40
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.519
condition than they expected it to be, although there was

41
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.359
some scoring on its neck and some missing hair. There

42
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.080
was some severe weather in Indianapolis and it drops something

43
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:12.159
off a mysterious dome shaped object. Residents in the area

44
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:16.280
of nineteenth and North Pasadena found a dome spotted in

45
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.039
the road. At the time of this recording, people weren't

46
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.560
sure what it was. Somethink the object could be a

47
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:24.319
ray dome, which is a structure designed to protect satellite

48
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.680
antenna from the weather, apparently not doing its job. And

49
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:31.280
if you lost something on the Megabus, they might have it.

50
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.919
British transport company Megabus has shared some of the unusual

51
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.520
pieces of lost property left behind on its buses. These

52
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:43.120
include haybales, a frozen turkey, I can almost see that,

53
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.960
a cooking walk, and false teeth. Other items found on

54
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.560
the buses in May included a Winnie the Pooh stuffed toy.

55
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.520
That's sad. I could absolutely see how that happens. I

56
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.080
hope that gets back to the child. A jar of

57
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:56.719
honey which perhaps belongs to Winnie the Pooh, That would

58
00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:01.240
make sense, a guitar, a record by radio Head, some insulin,

59
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:06.280
an electric razor, a Neil Diamond CD one shoe, and

60
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:10.479
a collection of coins and stamps. According to megabus ninety

61
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:13.439
five percent of lost and found items are eventually returned

62
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.319
to their owners. Those that go unclaimed after twenty eight

63
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:19.919
days are usually donated to charity. If you have lost something,

64
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.800
Megabust encourages you to report it on their website. And

65
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.319
those are your five good news stories for today. If
