I had a similar incident years ago, when my heavy-drinking next door neighbor came home at 3:00am from his job as a restaurant chef. The 6′ long inflatable stegosaurus that I’d gotten my kids the day before was sitting in the middle of my yard, for all the world looking like a scene out of Jurassic Park.
My neighbor says his paranoid uncertainty over what the hell was going on as he got home that night was one of the stronger influences that helped him stop drinking.
This reminds me of the Hill Street Blues episode where the police were having their annual ‘inspect the sewers’ day. Two detectives strapped a stuffed full sized crocodile on a motorized skateboard and set it loose.
Where I live, the cops got an animal at large call and responded to find two real tigers behind a 3’fence. Fortunately, the cats were not aggressive and the incident ended without disaster except for the owner who was arrested and extradited to TX where she had done the same thing.

To be fair, it was a very, very large toy tiger.

Full automatic hilarity ensued
