 Until we have cleared up whom the reptile belongs to, the police have registered it as a lost item 

The 74-year-old from Schwanstetten in southern Germany immediately called the police, who attempted to flush the serpent from its hiding place.

"However, the reptile was in no mood to show itself to the officers so the fire brigade was called in. They opened a manhole in the garden and were able to remove it from the plumbing," a police statement said.

A snake expert was then called in as a reinforcement.

She identified the serpent as a two-year-old royal python, normally not dangerous to humans, and offered to take it home until the owner steps forward.

"Until we have cleared up whom the reptile belongs to, the police have registered it as a lost item," concluded the police statement.

she should have just let the python do its thing, who knows she might have enjoyed it and kept the thing in there for future use. at 75 yrs one does not have many options so might as well use what you can find.
