Guy mistakes jellyfish for a fake breast, hands it in to confused police
Mistaken identity is a helluva thing, particularly when it comes to gelatinous blobs.
One Australian man has clearly been reading too many true crime novels, because last Friday, he mistook a washed-up jellyfish for something more sinister — a rogue breast implant. The concerned citizen even took his discovery to local police on the Sunshine Coast.

The embarrassment started when police at Maroochydore station politely informed the man that the damning evidence he had handed over was in fact the corpse of a jellyfish. Although not until they had bagged and tagged the "evidence" first.

The Sunshine Coast Daily reported that the man told police he was concerned that the presumed prosthetic implant could have come from someone who may have been murdered or drowned. But nope. It was nought but a sea blobber.
Imaginative citizens beware: As the weather warms up in Australia, the waters off the coast of Queensland become a haven for stinging breast implants. Tread carefully.
