If it hadn't been in a box it could chew its way out of, it would have been taken to a Royal Mail depot because the postman didn't bother to ring the doorbell and left a card in the door hinges which then got stolen by local kids, and the depot would have had a box of dead hamster.
Hmm. There was a story last year about a gang of yoofs who visited a local general store to buy some fireworks. Then the pet shop next door to buy a hamster. They then proceeded to the opposite side of the street and in front of both shopkeepers, who claimed to look on in horror but did nothing to stop them, attached said hamster to a rocket and launched it into the sky.
Personally I'd have said that attempting to buy fireworks while in possession of a hamster, or vice versa, ought to immediately set of huge honking warnings.
(Oh, and I think cynical is pretty much the right word, on both counts.)
