In this day and age, you know you're not meant to leave your baggage unattended in airports. Especially if there's a cute rabbit inside. 。
The bomb squad of the Australian Federal Police was called to Adelaide Airport on Wednesday after a pink Lorna Jane bag was left unattended in a female toilet. 。

"This is the first job of this kind that I’ve come across in my 26 years of service with RSPCA," rescue officer Van Loenen said in a statement online.。
"The young male rabbit is clearly very well socialised and cared for. He is even harness trained. The police had put him in a large box and gotten some carrots from Subway, so he had some fresh shredded carrot to munch on while they waited for me to arrive." 。

The situation was an unusual one for police, who didn't take any risks when they received the call. 。
"We treat everything in the aviation space very seriously, but our bomb appraisal officers certainly weren’t expecting to find a rabbit in unattended baggage. Thankfully the rabbit is safe and well, and hopefully the owner will be found," AFP acting state manager Commander Brett McCann added. 。
The hunt is now on for the owner of the rabbit, and rescue officers have some theories to why they abandoned the animal. 。
"A couple of scenarios came to mind — his owner could have been leaving the country and knew by leaving their pet in a populated area he would be found and cared for. Or they may have been planning on smuggling him on board a plane, but backed out at the last minute," Van Loenen said. 。
