A concerned
citizen called 911 on Monday after seeing what appeared to be a
live tiger riding atop a sport utility vehicle at Lacamas Lake,
a popular recreation area, according to police in the city of
Camas.
"This person thought it was real and called it in," Camas police
Sergeant Rob Skeens said, adding no report was taken during the
Monday incident because there is no law against strapping
stuffed animals to the top of a car.
According to the Columbian newspaper, Connor Zuvich, 19, of
Vancouver, Washington, had found the stuffed tiger among some
trash bags at the lake and decided to strap it to the top of his
black SUV.
He told the newspaper that he has kept the tiger on his truck
since the 911 call, often to the delight of other motorists.
