Elephant Man...
I assume you all saw the elephant foot story?
I wonder if it was hollowed out to ship something (drugs, diamonds) into the States, and then some not-so-bright criminal tossed out his window after taking out the contents. It seems kind of dumb to hide contraband in a fresh elephant foot (I mean how does that NOT get inspected somewhere along the way?) but what do I know? The fact that the feet can be imported legally makes it at least theoretically possible.
Or, maybe someone (legally) bought/brought home the elephant foot and then realized that there was a disgusting, smelly dead animal part in their foyer and decided to dump it at the earliest possible opportunity.

Re: Elephant Man...
Holy Crap!
When I first read your description I thought this was some weird story that got national press. Truly bizarre.
Re: Elephant Man...
When I read the article online yesterday it certainly was a head scratcher.... Today's followup didn't shed any more light on one strange found item.
I'm happy I didn't stumble upon that thing in the parking garage. The should have left it in the new garage as a great PR stunt!
Now a pic of my favorite Elephant Man, Jamaica's own:

Re: Elephant Man...
The pic in the paper kind of makes it look like a slipper.
Re: Elephant Man...
"As part of the investigation police will see if any circuses were in town, and they will contact animal hospitals around the state."
Way to get this one fucking figured out.
"Hello, Tufts animal hospital? I was curious if you have received any pet elephant appointments recently. I believe we have had a moulting incident in which a pet elephant discarded it's smaller foot as a new one grew inside of it. That would be a $500 fine plus $50 to the brain injury foundation for illegal pet refuse disposal. What? They don't moult limbs? Well dammit, who's the professional here? I'm a fucking police sergeant from Worcester, you ass, have you been drinking and driving?"
Re: Elephant Man...
My favorite part was when the Telegram called Soutwick's Animal F.arm to make sure Dondi the elephant was still a quadraped.
Re: Elephant Man...
Have they tried googling 'three legged elephants'??
