"No, it's not a joke," writes the police in their press release on a curious incident in Hagen.
A wild boar got lost in an apartment there.
Hagen - In Hagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, there was an almost unbelievable incident on Friday (February 4).
Even the police expressly assured in their press release that it was "not a joke".
A wild boar initially turned the entire living room of a woman upside down and then made himself comfortable on the couch.

When the 39-year-old unlocked her front door at around 1:20 p.m., she faced an adult wild boar.
"Fortunately with her head turned away from her," wrote the police.
The frightened woman quickly closed the door again and called the emergency services for help.
When a patrol car crew arrived on site, the "stately Bache" weighing around 60 kilograms had already devastated the interior and then settled comfortably on the living room sofa.
The animal probably got into the apartment on the ground floor through an open terrace door, the officials suspect.
When it fell shut, the pig was finally trapped.

Wild boars can be "very dangerous": police with urgent advice
Wild boars could "look cute" but also be "very dangerous," the police said in a statement.
Not least because of this, they called a hunter for help in order to lure the animal into freedom without stress.
The wild boar found its way back to nature unharmed over a fence.
“Wild boar usually freshen in the spring.
During this time, they protect their young from enemies.
Do not approach young animals, keep your distance,” the officials advised.
"And if one shows up in your living room... call the police."
Even 36 years after the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl, mushrooms and wild boar in the forests of Bavaria are still contaminated.
Wild boars in particular are radioactive.
In November, an adult wild boar caused a stir in a Bavarian village.
