Massachusetts Home Intruder Turns Out to be a Duck

2014-04-10

[An Nahar] Police in Massachusetts responding to reports of an intruder in a woman's home quickly quacked the case.

A North Reading (REH'-ding) woman called police Saturday from her upstairs bedroom to report that she heard loud banging noises downstairs and feared someone had broken into her home.

Officers who responded found no sign of a break-in.

But during a quick search of the home, police found a soot-covered wood duck.

Police say it appears the duck got in through the chimney.

An officer caught the duck and released it into a nearby pond.

#7 If it quacks like a duck...

In some parts of the world, we put screens over the chimney flue to keep out fowl and the odd badger.

#6 Barb, if she had a gun she would be in jail for both the gun and for shooting an unarmed intruder AND the greenies would be after her too.

This IS Massaholia after all.

#3 If she'd just (a) had a firearm, and (b) shot the intruder, she'd have dinner!

#1 Considering it's Massachusetts, I'm surprised the cops didn't arrest the woman for harboring a wildfowl without a permit.
