The Theft and Rescue project encourages people to save and adopt unique, hand-made stuffed bunnies they find in the cityscape, then submit stories about the bunny and its rescue via the project website.

Allegedly, stuffed animal bunnies have been being used to smuggle contraband into the U.S., only to be abandoned once that contraband is removed. Now, these pathetic, but adorable, bunnies are in need of new homes. The Theft and Rescue Society encourages people to seek out, rescue, and adopt these wayward cottontails while simultaneously altering the psychogeographic landscape of the city by introducing the bunnies to the environment. Individuals who find these characters are then invited to share their stories and ideas about their new long-eared friends via the project’s website.
