Current Goal

He wants to tour the world to let people know he can mix in society without getting into any sort of trouble. He wants to be cheeky and have his photo taken outside police stations and prisons around the world, maybe even Alcatraz. Shake his hand firmly to send him on his way, and he may just sing for you. (Unfortunately, due to spending too much time in the cold outdoors, Rocky has lost his singing voice and can no longer give his rendition of Jailhouse Rock!)

About This Item

Rocky. (An innocent hamster)

Locked up for a crime he didn’t commit, Rocky spent 5 years in Preston Prison, England trying to clear his name. The authorities don’t believe his pleas of innocence so the time has come for him to make a break, and get out of jail. On the night of 26 August 2004 he sneaked out of his cell (under the door, he’s so small!), dodged past Prison Officers, and finally scaled the walls. He quickly made his way north to hide in 'canal side stroll' cache where he wants to lay low for a few days before commencing his travels.

Have dropped off Rocky. Have changed his batteries and he will happily sing for you if you shake his hand. During his time with me he visited Salisbury Police HQ and Surrey Police in Guildford, my camera's on the blink so unfortunately no photos - but he was there; honest!

We have found Rocky and will take him back to Bath. Maybe he'll get in to trouble at Bath Police Station!

Additional >> Just squeezed his right hand and got a big surprise!
