Truck with pigs in back swiped, one pig still missing
The owner of a pair of pot-bellied pigs says a thief stole his swine in Hollywood.
Charles Bourquin says he was working in the backyard of a house in the 3100 block of Hollywood Boulevard Wednesday afternoon when his truck was stolen.
"I walked around and my guts dropped," said Bourquin, who said he left the keys in the white 1996 Mazda for five minutes. "You start second guessing yourself, 'what did I do with my truck?'"
As much as Bourquin was worried about the truck, he was also worried about what was in a cage in the back: two pot-bellied pigs.
"It's unbelievable," he said.
Bourquin, who lives in Clewiston and works on sprinkler systems, said he sells the pigs as pets on the side. His truck even has signs and writing with magic marker on its sides that advertise the pigs for sale.
One of the pigs, a female, was recovered Wednesday night, after someone spotted it in the area of 22nd Avenue and Atlanta Street, Bourquin said.
"She's fine, she was just scared to death," Bourquin said. "She was just oinking away."
Bourquin said he hopes the other pig, a male, is turned in or found.
"He's gotta eat, he's still a baby. He needs to be found," he said. "I hope there's a good ending here."

Nah. Pot bellies are cute and smart too.
