We are used to hearing about how people calling the cops on scary Halloween decorations, but a Christmas display in Austin had one man dialing 9-1-1 according to KVUE.
The Heerlein family wants to win a neighborhood contest, so they decided to recreate that infamous scene with Clark Griswold from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Well, I guess a passerby did not see the movie and thought the fake dummy was a real one. Thus, he tried to move the ladder to rescue the guy, but that did not work. Therefore, he called the police who showed up to a big surprise.
Now the family has a sign on their lawn letting people know that there is not a dead person hanging from their roof. It is just a life-sized dummy that looks like the real deal.
When it comes to if they won the contest, we don’t know. But I think they should because who had the po-po called on them?
