Kimberley May of Plymouth, England, said she and her family heard the rabbit, Toby, thump on the floor loudly five times in the early hours Thursday and they went downstairs a few hours later to find burglars had taken items including a WWI medal and gifts for her upcoming wedding , the Plymouth Herald reported Friday.

"They managed to take a laptop, an iPad and my handbag with my purse and everything in, but the worse thing was my great granddad's medal." She said Toby, a British Giant bunny who stands at 2 feet and 10 inches tall, was "traumatized" by the incident. "He's usually really friendly but he tried to go for the policeman," May said. Police are investigating the incident.
