This is not the first case. According to media outlets, last year in Amsterdam a sex doll has been rescued after being mistaken for a real woman. The concerned neighbours thought a lingerie-clad woman had been standing for a long time in a window, called the police. When she did not answer the doorbell, the cops stormed in expecting to find a dead body. Again, in the sea of Newquay this year, a fisherman reportedly spotted a body and called out the officers sending distress flares. Luckily, it was a sex toy.
