Police detonate suspicious toy pony




From the Orlando Sentinel:

A "suspicious" toy pony was blown up after it was found abandoned in the middle of a cul-de-sac near an Orange County elementary school this morning.

The FurReal pony, an expensive, life-like toy, was investigated as a possible explosive device after someone called Orange County deputies to report it. A robot inspected the toy before a pack of explosives was placed near the stuffed animal and detonated.

For some reason Orlando and Cincinnati are mother lodes of wonderful stories.
