STOREBRO, Sweden, Sept. 15 (UPI) -- Authorities in Sweden said an elk got drunk from eating fermented apples and walked off with a family's backyard swing set.
A Storebro homeowner told police he arrived home Wednesday to discover bits of apple littering his garden and his children's backyard swingset missing, the Swedish news agency TT reported Thursday.
Police suspected an inebriated elk, a common site in Sweden when the apples begin to ferment, to be behind the incident and called a local hunter to track the animal.
The hunter and police were unable to track down the elk, but the swingset was found propped against a tree in the woods.
