A man clutching a rubber chicken recently robbed a Tim Hortons at CrossIron Mills just north of Calgary in a case of what many people are calling "fowl play."

According to Airdrie RCMP, the man walked up the counter, placed the rubber chicken over the donation box, and then proceeded to leave with both around 1:30 pm on February 11.

Police described the suspect as "Caucasian, wearing a blue sweater and black balaclava, and holding a rubber chicken."

And Canadians are understandably confused.

This woman thought that it might be a joke.

..."holding a rubber chicken." Seriously?!

While this person tried to puzzle out an explanation.

Maybe it was an emotional support rubber chicken?

This person wasn't even all that surprised.

“Holding a rubber chicken.” Honestly, the world’s so crazy these days that this seems about right.

And this person felt that there were more pressing issues at stake than the crime itself.

I feel that the rubber chicken is the heart of the issue.

Police have yet to catch the chicken bandit, although one person suggested that they try the nearest KFC.
