Not Your Average Alien Abduction Sighting:
In the strange realm of alien abductions, usually it’s the aliens snatching the humans. But in South Roanoke, what happened is the other way around.
Some humans abducted the aliens, in broad daylight, on well-traveled Broadway Avenue. The crime occurred April 22 in Robert and Dian Bolling’s front yard, sometime between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. And the Bollings want them back.
They’ve combed the neighborhood, stapled wanted posters to telephone poles and taped them to storefront windows. So far, zilch.
The 3-foot-tall bright green molded plastic creatures have been fixtures in the family’s yard for more than a decade, first at their place on Arden Road in Raleigh Court and more recently in South Roanoke, where the Bollings moved with their three sons in 2011.
The couple picked up the aliens for peanuts about a dozen years ago. They can’t recall exactly when, or where or what they paid — $20 each, perhaps. They bought them at an after-Halloween clearance sale.
