A police helicopter and patrol cars were called to assist a 'lifeless body' in Düsseldorf that turned out to be less of an emergency than they expected.

A train passenger called the police on Tuesday to report a body wearing red trousers and a blue jacket that he had seen out of the window near the tracks.
Police immediately rushed patrol cars and a helicopter to the scene and identified the limp figure by the train tracks as a partially-deflated Papa Smurf - or Papa Schlumpf, as he is known in German - within seven minutes.
They found that the beloved children's character was suffering from nothing worse than a slight lack of helium and brought him back to the police station - safely secured against any mishap en route.
But once back at the station, they were unable to contact any of the victim's blue-skinned relatives.
"The emergency call from the witness was completely justified," police said in a statement.
"Under different conditions, it could have saved lives."
They said that everyone should report dangerous situations using the phone numbers 02131-3000 or in an emergency 110.
Good thing he’s wearing a seatbelt, or he could have ended up with a broken neck.

Wow. Those could really freak out law enforcement.
You got that right!
You cannot imagine how badly I want to do this.
;D
To be honest, so do I. But I can see being arrested and sent to Guantanamo.
So there’s not a part of you still secretly weighing the likely outcome against the hilarity?
:D
Me too. Maybe they’ll open a special wing for us.
Oh yes there is. It would be pretty fun. Until they went Abu Ghraib on me.
Oh, dear. This is gonna be so hard on Smurfette.
DANG!
He’s ok....just had the wind knocked out of him.... mamma smurf will put the wind back in his sails.
