Nanaimo RCMP recommend rubbing Buddha’s belly “to your heart’s content,” provided you’ve paid for the merchandise.

According to a police press release, a Buddha statuette was stolen from Red Shelf Décor on Commercial Street the afternoon of Oct. 4. The suspect was described as a woman with long, dark brown hair who uses a walker.

“Maybe someone should tell this lady about messing with a Buddha and bad karma,” the press release noted.
