Police called to a reported traffic collision in Nottingham yesterday found instead a bizarre smash and grab situation.
Officers arrived to find a taxi with a broken window, but once the coppers took a gander inside they discovered a slightly stunned goose.
The dazed bird has been taken to a vet to make sure it didn’t hurt itself too badly after breaking the window with its head, while the poor cabbie will face a hefty repair bill.
It’s not thought that the goose is insured.

“Goose was taken to the vets & unfortunately the taxi had to repair the damage. We think he may be trying to find his way to #goosefair #randomjob.

“You really feel for the effort they’ve gone to.
“You sit there with the parents for so long and then they lose one chick, then lose a second chick and you’re thinking, ‘Come on guys, you can do this!’.:
