POST FALLS -- There's at least one Post Falls family who might have a difficult time celebrating Thanksgiving after a thief was spotted stealing someone's turkey early Thursday morning.

Eyewitness Eric Ator was coming out of Peak Fitness, located at 927 East Polston Avenue in Post Falls, when he spotted the thief carrying what appears to be an uncooked turkey still in its wrapping heading running down the street. The thief ignored Ator and fled the scene.

From photos that Ator took of the individual as he fled down the street it appears the bandit was a yellow Labrador Retriever with a dark brown collar.

It's not known who the Lab's humans are or whether or not he is related to the family that is now out one Thanksgiving turkey. It's also not known whether or not the dog made off with any other loot like mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie or cranberry sauce.

There are, however, two things for certain in this case.

First, if he is a yellow Labrador Retriever then he did do a pretty good job at retrieving.

Second, when he gets home tonight he's probably going to be getting a scolding for being a very bad dog.
