The alleged thief claims he simply wanted to keep him as a pet
Photo: Getty Images Late last July, the staff at California’s Santa Ana Zoo discovered that something was terribly wrong. A hole had been cut in a fence overnight, and a 32-year-old endangered lemur was missing. According to a report in the Washington Post, the lemur, named Isaac, is possibly the oldest ring-tailed lemur in North America. This was a serious crime, and would hold serious consequences for the mastermind behind it.
Kasbar’s motives in taking Isaac weren’t monetary; he claims he simply wanted to keep him as a pet. Who among us has not desired an exotic pet? However, not many among us have gone to the lengths that Kasbar did. According to a Central District of California press release, Kasbar’s scheme cost the zoo $8,486. Kasbar’s lawyer describes his client’s actions as “… a mistake he made as a high school student.
In late November 2018, a few months after Isaac’s strange night out, a pawn shop received a Chopard diamond ring. It was identified by its serial number as recently stolen, and pawn shop records listed Kasbar and his parents’ address. According to the Los Angeles Times, the ring had been taken in an October break-in, where the thief had stolen around $75,000 worth of jewelry, and left Converse All-Star shoe prints on the roof — a telltale sign of a teen.
