Certainly a waste of important police time. People have been calling police departments because of fake animals they thought were real. It's happened many times with toy alligators and crocodiles.
Even a call to police in Jersey turned out to be for a fake parrot in a tree. Also a stuffed tiger got response.
I think I should get out some of my families stored stuff animals and have some fun.
See more here, even a toy tarantula.
