This reminds me of the time someone stole a mango in Australia... obviously, being Australia, the mango was very big.

It was just a marketing stunt and it backfired — police weren't too happy about wasting their time investigating a fake crime. Even after they were told what happened, they still had phones ringing off the hook with people calling in evidence, wasting government resources.
