'Old school TVs' left on front lawns puzzles US community
Mystery surrounds an incident in which a person wearing a television on their head left TVs on front lawns of local homes in a US community.
According to Virginia police, about 50 to 60 "old school tube televisions that did not appear to be in working order" were discovered on Sunday morning.
Surveillance footage captured by home cameras show the person wearing a TV set on their head during the stunt.
Police suspect a high school prank, and are not investigating further.
Henrico County Police Captain Lauren Hummel told BBC News on Wednesday that a majority of residents who awoke to find a TV outside their house "have just thought it was funny".
.....
Jim Brooksbank, who found a 13-inch TV on his porch, told WTVR-TV: "It's sort of funny... He wants to be known as the TV Santa Claus, I don't know."
"I feel lucky I got a TV," he added.
Michael Kroll said it's obvious that the pranksters "had way too much time on their hands if they had all these TVs and spread them all over the neighbourhood".
"I think it's funny in some ways. Now, if my whole front yard was covered with TVs, I'd kind of get upset."
A similar incident occurred in the nearby community of Grey Oaks almost exactly one year ago.
Robyn Schorr recalled thinking that a package had been delivered and asked her husband to retrieve it.
