Man's pond mysteriously drained

When George Terry Dinnie of Lower Macungie Township, Pennsylvania returned from a 90-minute walk on Monday, he was surprised to find that his 2,500 gallon koi pond had mysteriously been emptied. Police are investigating. Foul play is suspected. From the Morning Call:

(Dinnie) said his first guess was that the pond leaked, but he decided a leak couldn't work that fast. The other alternatives are hard to imagine, too, he said.

"How Â… can somebody exhaust water that fast?" he asked. "They pumped the water out faster than I can fill it up again. It's as weird as weird can be."

A swale in his lot seemed wetter than it should have been when he returned from the walk, he said, and "the ladies on both sides of me said they saw water spraying out" while he was on his walk.
