mistakes card for noisy neighbors

German police said an elderly man was so annoyed at hearing the same serenade over and over that he called authorities to report his neighbors — only to discover the culprit was a musical greeting card on his own windowsill. Police said Tuesday the 82-year-old from Goslar in central Germany told officers he was sick of the music, which would come at irregular intervals and at all hours.

Upon further investigation, police found the musical greeting card on his windowsill, where occasional breezes opened the card just enough to play an irritating tune.

Police said the retiree was happy to find out his neighbors weren't trying to annoy him.

I think it was an honest mistake... but damn, did he not even go up to the window-sill to check out the noise, and then just see the card right there? Maybe there's something fucked up about his hearing, and he now has no way to differentiate the differences between distances of sounds. Poor fucker, though. I'd shake his hand and give him a hug and a laugh, just for the fuck of it.
