I will start here with at least two eliminations. @Idiot Boxer and @Foosball God are off the hook. And were actually the first to hear the conclusion of this drama as they arrived for a Vegas substitute party weekend. And to be honest, @Idiot Boxer was the only one of the two I ever truly suspected.Other Suspects
Friends - Could a friend, at the house for one of our many parties, have been snooping and snatched it for ####s and giggles? @Idiot Boxer and @Foosball God I’m looking at you.
As much as I wanted to picture Uncle Bubba innocently playing with a purple buzzing rabbit because he thought it was cool, it wasn't to be. Neither Uncle Bubba or the porn addicted nephew were involved in this caper.Other Suspects
Uncle Bubba - Uncle Bubba (my girlfriend’s brother) was here with the family over the holidays. Uncle Bubba is the most awesome guy you’ll ever meet. But has Williams Syndrome and functions like an early teenager, and has a penchant for sneakily snatching things that don’t belong to him. He once took a vase full of those decorative marbles when no one was home and when he was caught defeatedly said “I thought they were pretty”. Could he have been snooping and found something that was a pretty color?
The Nephew - 16 y.o. and in town over the holidays as well. Generally a good kid. Only on the list because according to his parents, he has a porn problem. Makes you think.
The last 'other suspect' that I will eliminate is the cleaning lady. I think I was secretly hoping it was her, but in reality there was no way we would ever find out if it was.Other Suspects
The Cleaning Lady - We don’t really have a cleaning lady but decided to have someone come before Christmas because there was a ton of family coming to town and we didn’t have time to clean. She’d been to the house once before. No one was home while she was here this time, but the $100 was left seemingly untouched.
drunkenly misplaced is my working hypothesis
I will post again when I have some time (maybe Monday) but let's just say my girlfriend didn't just drunkenly misplace it.
We do. Two dogs. A jack russell and a chihuahua...Do you have any pets? Dogs, cats, cockatoos?
The 16 y.o. (now 17) is still perfect. And the 18 y.o. (now 19) didn't shake *this* sex toy in the face of any college girls.The Suspects
Our kids:
18 y.o. son - Lives at college, comes home fairly often. Has been alone in the house recently. There was some sex awareness week at school recently and based on the local Town angry facebook page there are reports of boys on campus “shaking sex toys in the faces of college girls”. Makes you wonder.
16 y.o. son - Literally the perfect kid. Plays a lot of video games but has a 100 average in all his honors classes. Polite. Respectful. Never comes out of his room never mind into someone else’s. Not a suspect.
Burrito definitely does not need a vibratorWe do. Two dogs. A jack russell and a chihuahua...
He has made grown men cry.Burrito definitely does not need a vibrator
15 y.o. daughter - Would be voted ‘most likely to get into mischief and lie about it’ out of all the kids. Definite opportunity, being home alone often. Motive? Not sure.
13 y.o. daughter - 2nd most likely kid to get into trouble. Maybe more likely to lie about it. Very little opportunity as she’s not home much alone. Can’t come up with a motive unless it’s to put a video on Tik Tok for some laughs.
The three youngest girls all share a room together. And no, it wasn't in a doll house or used as a prop for a stuffed animal. So, we are down to two suspects...The Suspects
Our kids:
11 y.o. daughter - Sweetest kid you’d ever meet. Couldn’t see her going in our room without asking never mind in the nightstand.
8 y.o. daughter #1 - Innocent, awesome kid. She would not start mischief but is susceptible to peer pressure and would join in if pushed. Which leads to…
8 y.o. daughter #2 - Could definitely see this one snooping around where she doesn’t belong and being a little sneaky. Why she would take it I have no idea. I guess it does look like a toy of some sort. She’s also a budding magician so maybe she will pull it out of a hat someday.
As suspected, it was one of these two. Now 14 and 16, they have been getting in a #### ton of trouble in 2020. We have had some serious issues with both of them. Both of them lie straight to our faces, even when caught in their lies. It's been a rough year all around, and in reality, the case of the missing rabbit is the least of our worries.The Suspects

zOMG that's hilarious!As suspected, it was one of these two. Now 14 and 16, they have been getting in a #### ton of trouble in 2020. We have had some serious issues with both of them.

Prior to company coming last Friday we were putting clean sheets on all the beds in the house. We found the rabbit, *and* the charger () on the floor between the bed and the wall in the 14 y.o.'s room.
This is new territory for me, so I (we) had no idea how to handle it. She has been at her mom's house since last Friday morning, right before we found it. My girlfriend was planning on talking to her when she came back (and she will) but in reality neither of us have any idea what to say.
The 14 y.o. had lost all phone access until her mom gave it back to her yesterday in a limited capacity.
So, being the awesome dad that I am, I took advantage of the opportunity today.

COVID ####ed up the annual Vegas trip, so some of us just got together and partied at my house.Slow clap.
But what is a substitute party in vegas
Dammit!The 16 y.o. (now 17) is still perfect. And the 18 y.o. (now 19) didn't shake *this* sex toy in the face of any college girls.
Down to 5 suspects.
Still don't know the daughter's excuse.
She was just keeping it charged up so that when the owner came forth they might want to use it right away.
You really want to know the excuse a 14 year old has for stealing a slightly used...rabbit?Still don't know the daughter's excuse.
