Weird BUT true

Cops broke into a locked car in New Hampshire to save a baby from the brutal heat — only to find it was just a very realistic doll.

Keene police Lt. Jason Short feared for the worst when he responded to calls about a baby in a hot car in a Walmart parking lot.

“I went to put my finger in its mouth and it was all resistance,” he said. “And I’m like, ‘This is a doll.’ ”

The doll is one of approximately 40 owned by Vermont resident Carolynne Seiffert, who collects dolls to help her deal with the death of her son.

St. Bernards are famous as rescue dogs, but this time, it was the pooch that needed help when she fell into a a 30-foot well.

The Harford County Fire Department in Maryland lowered one of their own down to scoop up Mabel, who wasn’t hurt.

Someone lit portable toilets on fire at San Francisco’s China Basin beach, causing quite the flaming mess.

“It was a pretty big fire. Flames were lighting up the place,” neighbor Rocky Birdsey said.

No one was injured, but the vandal caused $30,000 in damage to the beach, which had to be temporarily closed. Don’t mess with this biker. A German cop chasing a moped-riding suspect was suddenly blocked by a narrow street.

So he jumped out of his police cruiser, commandeered a child’s bike and ran down the suspect, who was carrying drugs and driving under the influence in the town of Bamberg, officials said. Their faith is their rock. Catholic pilgrims flocked to the outskirts of La Paz, Bolivia this week to break apart rocks, in a ritual that mirrors a legend of the Virgin Mary appearing to a shepherd girl, telling her to take rocks from a dried river. Those rocks miraculously turned into silver.

The faithful hope that splitting pebbles from that riverbed will give them their own good luck with money.
