Ananova:

Residents of a small Croatian town called police after waking up to find a 17-foot snow sculpture of a penis in the main square.

But police in the town of Karlovac who responded to the call saw the funny side and decided to let the ice willy melt naturally.

Student Nenad Rizvic, 21, who admitted to building the 'statue' with a group of friends, said: "We just wanted to make a slightly different kind of snowman."
