Zoo broken into again; cart stolenZoo victim of another break-in;


By James Carlson


City spokesman David Bevens said zoo and city officials have ramped up discussions on improved security."He found a little friend over there," Kamer said. "They were buds there for a while."Bevens said authorities are treating Monday's crime as an act of vandalism and burglary.A nearly identical incident occurred last August, when someone broke a gate near the shelter house and let the bobcat loose.Zoo workers rushed the animal into a carrier and toward the animal hospital on the grounds.Wood fence makes for a country-style look and is one of the major choices among the residential areas in the Chicagoland area. Ornamental fences, on the other hand, have been preferred by clients who opt for elegance and excellent visualization for their backyard. This is popular among environmentalists and plant enthusiasts. Chicago Fence also caters to installing industrial cages as well as to commercial tennis courts and other long runs of fence.The vandal or vandals also cut a hole in fencing around the arctic fox exhibit and threw a plastic wagon in the elephant exhibit. The fox didn't escape.Scott suggested the best option may be to have a security person walk the grounds at night.James Carlson can be reached at (785) 295-1186 or james.carlson@cjonline.com and tweets at twitter.com/carlson_james.
