Underwater fake skeleton tea party found by authorities

The La Paz County Sheriff’s Office and Buckskin Fire Department responded to a report of “found human remains” in the Colorado River in Arizona on Monday.



At approximately 10am, the La Paz County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to the area of Cienega Springs boat launch. The reporting person stated that he/she was out snorkelling when they noticed skeletal remains at the bottom of the river.



Sheriff’s Office personnel met with members of the Buckskin Fire Department who sent one of their divers down to investigate. The diver took an underwater camera and video recorded the footage as he saw it.

When Firefighter Foerstner located the alleged remains, he found it to be an underwater tea party with two fake skeletons sitting in lawn chairs. Although the call itself was resource intensive, both the Sheriff’s Office and Buckskin Fire were happy to find that the remains weren’t real and thanked the reporting party for making the call.

So which prank was better - this one or the one where the door to a train was bricked up?

I think I prefer the bricked-up train door.

It's a very close race. I have to give the edge to the tea party, though, for the spooky factor.

This one, for non-destruction of other peoples property.

Tea Party. The bricked-up train was really vandalism, IMO.

I quite like this as there was every possibility that no-one would ever discover it. To me it just seems to have been done for their own amusement.
