Boaring story
A lioness roaming Berlin's suburbs, causing fear among citizens, who were advised to stay indoors and away from the forest, is now believed to have been a wild boar. But local youths still managed to get some fun out of the situation.
Officers were not amused when young people started playing loud roaring lion sounds on a speaker near to the area where the search was going on. "That helps neither the local community, nor the police in their search for the animal," police spokeswoman, Kerstin Schröder, told RBB.

And it never occurred to anyone that the original threat may not have just been a wild boar, but a wild boar playing loud roaring lion sounds on a speaker? Whatever happened to eliminating the impossible, with whatever's remaining, however improbable, being the truth?
Sherlock Holmes wouldn't've been impressed, Frau Schröder.
