A German pensioner feared a monster courgette he found in his garden was an unexploded World War Two bomb and called the police.
The 5kg (11-pound) courgette had probably been thrown over a hedge into the 81 year old's garden, police said.
Luckily no evacuation was required in Bretten, a town near Karlsruhe in south-west Germany.
The 40cm (16-inch) vegetable - also called zucchini - "really did look like a bomb", police said.
Once police had reassured him following the early morning call-out, the pensioner disposed of the courgette himself.

In Britain there would probably be a 500m exclusion zone imposed and everybody evacuated into a local sports hall for a couple of days.

If he's scared of food products, it's as well he didn't find a large cookie in his back garden. That would be something to be scared of!
 Explanation: This is what a ww2 cookie looks like, 4000lb of fun, would be fantastic for bonfire night: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockbuster_bomb#/media/File:Fundort_Luftmine_04_Koblenz_2011.jpg |
