A dispute broke out Friday when a Bonita woman accused one of her neighbors of stealing a plastic flamingo.
Penelo-P Pinknstink, of 123 Wagonwheel Way, phoned the sheriff Friday morning to report the missing flamingo. Pinknstink, who decorates her front lawn with more than fifty flamingos, claimed she exited her house Friday morning and noticed flamingo footprints across her lawn and into the street. After realizing a Mexican-themed flamingo was missing, she accused neighbor Jose Curvo of the burglary.
Pinkstink claimed Jose Curvo stole the flamingo from her yard in preparation for Friday’s Mexico-Germany women’s world cup soccer match and mockingly walked the flamingo across her lawn. While Pinknstink admitted she did not see Curvo near her house Friday morning, she claimed he must have been the culprit as he is an avid fan of the Mexican soccer team.
“That’s what Mexicans do- they steal,” Pinknstink asserted in a press conference Friday afternoon.
Sheriff Jessie, who responded to Pinknstink’s call, claims she did not find any footprints at the scene like the ones Pinknstink had described.
Curvo denied any involvement in the case. He referred to Pinknstink as “loca,” further stating that, “We don’t even have flamingos in Mexico.” He claims he was at his house at the time of the incident, preparing to watch the soccer match.
No other witnesses have been found in the case. The whereabouts of the Mexican-themed flamingo are still unknown.
Despite the limited evidence, Pinknstink hopes charges will be pressed.
