That wasn’t enough to nab the top spot, however. The call only ranked fifth out of the force’s 10 most ridiculous reports.

First prize went to a lovers’ quarrel over a glass eye. A man reported his girlfriend hid the prosthesis after he took it out at her home, and asked that police help him retrieve it.

Second place went to a driver who ended up being carjacked by a goat.

Police say the woman initially called after seeing the animal in the road, but when she stepped out of her vehicle to look for an address to give the 911 operator, the goat hopped in.

In third position were “bored” youngsters who police say tried to “trip” cars with a dog leash.
