Where's the Ninja?

A while ago I found this in the Channel town press police blotter column:
"7.17am: Report of a teenage boy walking with a Ninja sword on his back, 3rd St. A deputy checked the area and talked to several people walking, none of whom saw anyone carrying a Ninja sword" (From the La Conner police blotter, Channel town press May 17).
Now this is the case of the week: who was it? a member of a new neighborhood block watch militia? an alien entity playing a trick on the peaceful population of La Conner? a sorcerer? a member of the Shao-Lin temple on his path to wisdom? All suggestions welcome. I thought this might be a good starting point for a collective story writing, but right now I'm stuck.
