Police Officer Found Her Missing Toy, Then Took It On An Adventure (Photos)

One simple Facebook notification lead a police officer from La Plata, Maryland on an overnight adventure with a dragon by his side.

My daughter plays outside for hours with her dinosaurs and dragons. And she has done this daily since she was about...

Sergeant Robert Bagley was tagged on a post by Jason Hendricks, who said his daughter's favorite toys had been stolen. Little Evie Hendricks loves to play with her toy dragons and dinosaurs, but since they like to stomp around in the mud her parents leave them outside in the yard at night. That's where some heartless person found them last week.

The crook walked off with Evie's dragon and dinosaur, and her dad asked people in the neighborhood to look out for them. "I sure hope that this person thought the toys needed a little adventure and will be returning them soon and I hope these dinos and dragons find their way back to their rightful owner," he wrote.

Just a few hours after he was notified about the theft by a friend, sergeant Bagley managed to track down the dragon, proving that no job is too big or too small for the police. But before he wrapped up his investigation, Bagley did something special.

The officer took his new scaly friend on an adventure to find the missing T-rex, and took photos of the whole hilarious caper along the way.

The first stop was to the local emergency room, to patch up the dragon after his kidnapping. "I found him alone with a broken arm, so I took him to my emergency room friends at Charles Regional Medical Center," Bagley wrote. "They were kind enough to fix his boo boo."

Next, the pair visited some firefighters looking for help to find the missing toy.

Later they stopped for a drink, and tried to get some food. Since Petco and Chick-Fil-A were both closed, they settled for donettes.

Finally, the dragon was made a Junior La Plata Police Officer for his help on this case, and got the badge to prove it.

But the job came with new responsibilities, including helping sergeant Bagley write out tickets.

Unfortunately the pair never found the T-rex, but they had a lot of fun looking for him. "Please tell your daughter that he was a great partner tonight," Bagley wrote. "He kept me safe while patrolling the Town of La Plata. We will continue to look for his other missing friend."

Hendricks shared a photo of his daughter happily reunited with the toy, and thanked Bagley for his "creativity and compassion."

We are very lucky to live in such a wonderful caring community," he wrote.
