Still Waters Posted January 22, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2014 A family from Bulawayo's Nketa 7 suburb dumped its tenant's "goblin" at the Tshabalala Police Station, sending cops fleeing in different directions. The incident occurred at about 8 pm on Wednesday. A family that claimed a lodger owned the goblin brought it to the station in a suitcase. http://bulawayo24.co...-byo-41479.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davros of Skaro Posted January 22, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 22, 2014 That's a clever way to clear the place to snatch that parking ticket in the file cabinet.Will not work in the UK, or the States though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted January 22, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Police officers gave differing versions about how the goblin looked. Some said it looked like am snake with the head of a dog and others said it was a dog with scales like a pangolin. So, the perps had a dog - possibly with mange - in a suitcase then let it leap out in front of superstitious cops, who panicked. They then get their 'healer' to get rid of the animal. I suspect this healer will now get a lot more (lucrative) business, and the gang who organised this bit of chicanery will be practicing their next advertising campaign. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funi Posted January 25, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Africa is the place with the most recorded instances of mass hysteria. I'm thinking experiments with unaware people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted January 25, 2014 #9 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The officer said a traditional healer who had come with the family opened the suitcase and a weird looking creature jumped out of a bottle that was filled with blood "No one told anyone it was time to run. One minute, the charge office was full, the next, it was empty. I think some people went out through the windows because we could not all have fitted through the door. Fat cops and slim cops all ran for their lives screaming," said the cop. http://bulawayo24.com/index-id-news-sc-local-byo-41479.html This kind of BS never ceases to amaze me. And where are the photos? don`t tell me they do not have mobiles there, they got traditional healers, suitcases, fat and slim cops, but no mobiles to take a pic with. Someone is having up our backs.

Vincennes Posted January 26, 2014 #17 Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) I think this article has some serious racial overtones. What, they saw police called opening up an abandon suitcase in a railway station and pulling out something unusual. In today's world they were probably running from what we know could really be in there, like a BOMB perhaps. Doesn't seem all that strange or stupid to me. If this happened in a subway station in New York would the writer acknowledge they were all following evacuation instructions ? Zimbabwe is a large metropolitan city also.

Shiloh17 Posted January 27, 2014 #20 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Amazing how the second I saw the title, I knew it was from someplace like Zimbabwe. I mean had this happened in other nations, chances are it would have been captured on camera within the department, but alas, we missed a real live goblin.
