The department I work in handle some very odd calls. A couple of weeks ago, we got one that is the current reigning champ of "weird". One of our members who was vacationing on the island of St. Maarten called in. She said that while she was walking along the beach she came across a bag. Even though the bag wasn't hers she decided to open it. Upon opening it, she said she was terrified to find a severd human head.
The lady was calling in looking for compensation from us for being "terrified" while on vacation. This particular call begs the following questions: What about the poor person who is now headless? Where is his compensation? Why are you going through other people's bags? In the future, are you going to go through random bags that you know don't belong to you? Why would we compensate you? We didn't put the severed head on the beach.
Turns out it was a true story, only the lady calling didn't really find the head in the bag, someone else did, she only heard about it through the news. The man that really found the head did so while swimming in the ocean at 1 am. He told police that when he opened the bag and saw the severed human head, it scared him so much that he threw it out further in the ocean. So, if you're planning on vacationing soon, watch out for floating severed heads and don't go through bags that aren't yours!
