A dispute broke out when a Bonita woman accused her neighbor of stealing a Mexican-themed flamingo from her collection on Friday morning.
Penelo-p Pinknstink claimed that her neighbor, Jose Curvo, stole the flamingo from her collection of more than fifty. She realized it was missing while conducting her daily count of the flamingos.
Even though Pinknstink didn’t see Curvo stealing the flamingo, she insisted he was guilty because the flamingo had a Mexican flag on it and he was the only Mexican she ever saw in the neighborhood. Pinknstink said that Curvo stole it in preparation for the Under 20 Women’s World cup game that was starting at noon because he was a big fan of the Mexican team. Pinknstink insists that she found flamingo footprints that went from her yard to across the street. The Sherriff found no such footprints.
Curvo claimed that there are other Mexicans living the neighborhood, as well. He also didn’t know why anyone would want to steal a “pink chicken,” he said, suggesting that Pinknstink should check the zoo for the missing flamingo. Curvo was at home on Wagon Circle at the time of the alleged crime, he said.
Despite limited evidence, Pinknstink hopes Sherriff Jesse will press charges against Curvo.
