According to BBC, Hudson, New York Police received a call from an “upset” woman claiming there was an elderly woman frozen to death in a car. Â With temperatues below freezing, police acted quickly to break the car window. Â
As it turn out, what would’ve been a heroic event, was their worst mistake. Â The elderly woman was actually a mannequin! Â Needless to say, the driver of the car was very upset to find smashed windows and had a few choice words for the sergeant.
According to BBC, one officer was quoted as saying, Â “Just to clear the record, all citizens of Hudson should be put on notice that if you park your locked vehicle on the street on a sub-zero night with a life-size realistic mannequin seated in it… we will break your window.”
So if you’re having a bad day, just remember, the Hudson police department had it much worse.
