Wash. — A Washington state teenager gave his neighbors a shock on Monday, May 18th, as he was driving around with a stuffed toy tiger on his car, but some people couldn’t tell it wasn’t real.
Connor Zuvich, put stuffed tiger on car, “I didn’t know what else to do but stick it on top of the car because it looked pretty cool. Connor Zuvich just couldn’t pass up on a free tiger. He was hanging out with some friends at Lacamas Lake when he says some guys pulled up, dumped a few trash bags, along with the giant stuffed animal.
Connor Zuvich, “One of my friends was like, hey you forgot your tiger and they like kinda ignored us and then I was like can I have it and they were like yeah take it.”
They tied it to the roof of Connor’s SUV and cruised around the lake and soon saw police lights.
Connor Zuvich, “Before long I had a police cruiser coming up behind me, flipped on his lights, I already knew why, right”
Most drivers just honked or gave him a thumbs up, but one of them thought it was real and called 9-1-1.
Even the cop may have been a little nervous at first.
Connor Zuvich, “He came up kinda cautious and was like “it’s not real” and I was like no its not real and he started laughing.”
Connor didn’t get in any trouble, he went home with a story to tell and a brand new ornament for his car.
Connor Zuvich, “Well, it’s probably going to stay on there until the HOA tells me tells me I can’t have a tiger on my vehicle in the neighborhood or my parents get fed up with it, we’ll see, we’ll see which one happens first.
