“Into the Tiger’s Den” or "Tiger Beat"


British police shut down a highway, evacuated a golf course, and armed with tranquilizer guns, were helicoptered to a field where an adult tiger was reported to have been found, which turned out to by an oversized stuffed toy.  The police have since apprehended a boy named Christopher Robin for questioning.

The boy insists his stuffed bear planned the whole hoax with the tiger as a honey-making scheme.

The police were prepared for multiple scenarios going in.  For example, had the tiger been real, and had the tranquilizers not worked, the police were prepared to wish they carried real guns.

More upset than the police were the golfers, due to the obscure but strict rule that states that police evacuation due to a stuffed tiger means you have to take a stroke.
