Moose gets bicycle necklace!

Never mind the X-Files - here's another one for the R-Files (Richard ;))


Stockholm, Sweden - A massive moose made off with Björn and Monica Helamb's bicycle, the married couple said on Monday.

The animal had been making annual visits to the Helamb's yard in Vuoggatjalme, northern Sweden, since 1995 to snack on their roses. In a bid to protect their precious garden from its regular diner the pair put their bicycle in front of the flowers.

"So we thought we would at least protect our favourite roses from her appetite by making it harder for her to get to them," Björn Helamb said.

It didn't help.

The moose, dubbed "Droopy Ear" because of her deformed ears, slid her head through the bike's frame and munched on the roses last week, sating her appetite with a flowery feast.

"Then she disappeared, with the bike hanging around her neck," Helamb said.

He found the bike later, about 500m from the house, bent apart and beyond repair.

Despite purloining the bicycle, Droopy Ear came back over the weekend for roses, but was chased away by the couple. - Sapa-AP

lololol,

Why do I get blamed for stories like these????


It just goes to show that 'Droopy Ears' isn't just a vandal, he may be a 'cycle-pathic' bike thief.


:confused: ;) :D
