The official Cali Returns story:
After 4 days of searching, Cali has returned home. It was quite the experience, I feel that @[876990354:Samantha] and I are both better detectives now that we solved this case. So it turns out that changing a Craigslist add form "LOST" to "STOLEN" and adding in the key word "POLICE" will scare almost any crackhead out of the bush, because after Samantha did that, we got a call from the wife of the man we were trying to track down. At first she tried lying to us saying she had come to midtown to bring her hubby lunch and Cali flew in to her van (LIE!) and then flew out of the van into a tree (LIE) and that was the last she saw of the bird (LIE). Knowing that this story was different that the eye witnesses told us, we had a good idea that she was lying to us. We proceeded to grill her with many questions, got her "name" which I promised I wouldn't say for her safety (i ill explain this in a few), by the way she didn't give us her full name at first and it was plain as day that she was trying to protect her hubby. So after grilling her for 10-15 min the conversation ended. We new something was up, but we didn't know what we should do. As were talking about it, she called back, crying, saying the man whole stole the bird is a crackhead, that she was afraid of him and he was standing next to her while she was on the phone telling her what to say. She was apologetic and told us she would go to the house where Cali was being held, break in and bring him to us. That is exactly what she did and now he is home. Moral of the story, DONT DO CRACK, IT MAKES YOU DO SOME REALLY STUPID ****!
