Authorities closed a lane of traffic to investigate, and, not long after, announced the results of the examination.
“Officers have attended and it has been found to be a realistic looking 'severed hand,'” the unit reported in a Facebook post.
The message ended with the request, “No doubt comments will be forthcoming- please!” and many were happy to oblige.
Among the hundreds of corny comments that came rolling in were, “Seems armless enough,” and, “Hope they finger out who digit.”
