The Case That Never Closed

About this episode

Ollie the owl has NEVER taken anything in his life — so why did he swoop down and snatch the detectives' CASE CLOSED stamp? Join Bobo & Pim, the woodland detective duo, as they chase the strangest thief they've ever had in this fun animated mystery for kids!

Bobo is closing a case in the park when Ollie the owl grabs the agency's stamp right out of his paw and flies away — saying only "I will bring it back." Back at the office the detectives find something odd: Ollie walked straight past the shiny magnifier and the acorn and took just ONE thing... and one old case note has been pulled out and left on the desk. Bobo is sure he knows why. Pim isn't so sure. Can you work out what Ollie really wanted before they do?
