Explosive experts were called to investigate a suspicious device in the German state of Bavaria on Monday night, only to find it was a sex toy.
Officials said the grenade-shaped item was spotted in a clear plastic bag in a forest near the city of Passau.
A female jogger alerted police to the discovery and a specialist explosives unit were dispatched from the nearby district of Tittling.
But local police said experts soon realised there was no emergency.
