"Failure to yield" fine - so stubborn!
A donkey that got lost in Ankara and ended up on the Protocol Road
was found by the police and taken to a secure parking lot by a tow
truck. The owner, who was reunited with his donkey after paying a
fine of 1,246 lira, created some colorful scenes.
A donkey that went missing in Ankara's Altındağ district was found
by police teams following a tip-off from citizens and taken to a
secure parking lot by a tow truck. The owner, Orhan Figan, who
learned the donkey's location thanks to a video he saw on social
media, was reunited with his animal after paying a fine of 1,246 TL
(about $25).
Figan stated that he learned about his donkey being in the impound
lot through social media, saying, "My friend messaged me late at
night saying, 'I found your donkey.' I asked, 'Where did you find it?'
He said, 'In the impound lot,' but I didn't believe him. My friend told
me he found it on social media and sent me a link. After clicking the l
ink, I learned that a citizen had found my donkey on Protocol Road.
After finding the donkey, the citizen called 112. When the police
couldn't reach anyone, they called a tow truck. They loaded the donkey
onto the tow truck like a normal vehicle. They tied it tightly without
harming it. Then they took the donkey to the impound lot."
Reunited: a boy and his mule.
Figan stated that he went to the parking lot at night to retrieve his
donkey, saying, "After seeing the video, I immediately called 112 and
spoke with the police. The staff there said, 'Your donkey is in the
impound lot, but you won't find anyone there at night.' I said, 'I've
found my donkey, I need to get it.' I went to the impound lot around
2:30 AM. Thankfully, the police officers had already given the donkey
food and water. The police said, 'Take your donkey, but we need to fine
you for this.' They issued a fine receipt and handed my donkey back
to me."
