Man reported for driving off with woman in duffle bag

I would have called the police, too. Where else but Florida?
Boca Raton police received a call from a man walking his dog Friday. He told police he saw a man hunched over a large duffel bag in a Walgreens parking lot, talking to it. He said the man started to lift the duffel bag into his car when a woman's arm poked out. The man then pushed the arm back inside the bag, put it in the car and drove off.
Turned out he was staying in a halfway house in order to dry out and since having overnight guests there was against the rules he and his girlfriend came up with a plan of sneaking her in via a duffel bag.

At the end of the video clip below (starting at about the 36 second mark) Mark Economou, Public Information Manager for the Boca Raton Police Department, explains how this oddly humorous incident capped off the force's weekend. 

As he said, you can't make this stuff up. Well worn phrase, but surely true in this case.
