Robot Living

Bubby the robot was enjoying his stay as a decoration on Teresa McDade’s lawn.

She had purchased Bubby online for $700 and recently moved him to her lawn.  Her five year old son Tareece had named the robot and thought of Bubby as a friend.

This robot was originally  called Safety Sam and made by a company called Robotronics.  This company also makes the official robot version of McGruff The Crime Dog.

Bubby was stolen from her lawn on Tuesday, June 16, but returned to her neighbors driveway on Thursday, June 18. Bubby seems to be ok, despite being returned with a bag over his head and a few scratches.

We are happy the robot was returned and hope Bubby is ok.

But the question we put to you reader is, why would anyone leave a $700 robot on their lawn as a decoration?

Check out Safety Sam at work on Ellis Island after the break.
