...at a certain point I think you just have to assume that the doorbell is malfunctioning, no?

We've had that happen. It was annoying as hell. We didn't call the police, though. (Pretty funny that it was a slug and not a dying piece of electronics, I must say.)

How dare it? It should be promptly arrested, pour decourager les autres

I love getting downvotes on an obvious joke post

Why is HN so uptight about literally everything?

No ones reads anymore, even the article ends with,

"In a statement, a police spokesperson in Schwabach, Bavaria, said the animal had “been brought down to size, taught about its territory boundaries and placed on a nearby stretch of grass”."

Not sure what the problem is.

I imagine that they, quite reasonably, expected that the prankster was some slimy character. And it looks like they were correct.

No. It is pushing up the daisies, singing to the choir invisible.

I envy people with such quiet, peaceful lives that they consider this a newsworthy problem.
