Emirati police have arrested a man for allegedly stealing a highly valuable newborn camel to give to his girlfriend for her birthday, the United Arab Emirates’ state-linked newspaper reported Wednesday.
The owners of the baby camel reported the theft from their farm earlier this month, according to the local National newspaper, prompting Dubai police to fruitlessly search the area. Several days later, an Emirati man called authorities to say a stray camel had wandered onto his farm some 3 kilometers (almost 2 miles) away.
When interrogated, the man’s story fell apart, according to police in Dubai. He soon admitted to trespassing on his neighbor’s farm to steal a rare breed of camel for his girlfriend, the report said, settling for the newborn after failing to wrangle an adult. The man reported the stray beast when he grew worried about being caught, the paper said.

Camel thief is a real thing......who knew!!
Don’t they cut your hand off over there for stealing?
Wish I'd have thought of this before Valentine's Day.
There’s a hump joke in here somewhere.
I’d walk a mile for a camel too.
humping camel toe makes some men do stupid things...
One hump or two? One’s a misdemeanor and the other’s is a felony...
That’s what happens when you leave one double parked with the engine running and the keys in the ignition.
I think there’s been a translation error, and the camel IS his girlfriend.

WooHooooooooo
On a college Art History trip to Egypt, my buddy sold one of the girls from the school to an Egyptian for 10 camels. The dude thought he actually had a deal... until the girl found out about it, lol
So she was a 10?
I think if I gave a camel to Mrs. Deplorable, I think she’d divorce me...
Why would anyone want a camel? Of course, they are smarter than Democrats, but they are rude animals (the came I’m talking about)...
Guess that's better than a camel-toe joke.
According to the story its a valuable rare breed of camel.
You gotta remember in a lot of the middle east they’re still living in the 1500s.
