A dispute broke out Friday morning when a Bonita woman accused her neighbor of stealing a pink flamingo from her yard.
Penelo-p Pinknstink was counting her pink flamingos when she realized the flamingo with a Mexican flag was missing. She immediately called the sheriff.
Sheriff Jessie arrived at 123 Wagon Wheel Way at 11:31 a.m. and found no evidence of a criminal. Pinknstink insisted that the burglar was her Mexican neighbor, Jose Curvo.
Pinkstink believes that Curvo stole the pink flamingo because he wanted to decorate his house for a women’s soccer match. Curvo was about to watch the under-20 women’s soccer World Cup match between Mexico and Germany when Sheriff Jessie arrived at the scene.
No witnesses were present during the incident. Although Pinkstink did not see Curvo during the theft she insisted he committed the crime. Pinkstink said the area of the missing flamingo had small footprints around it that continued from the yard to the street and towards Curvo’s house.
Sheriff Jessie saw no such footprints and said there was not enough evidence to issue a search warrant of Curvo’s house.
Pinkstink plans to press for charges to be filed despite limited evidence.
