Transportation, Cars and Cops: Busted

Busted

By Anonymous - 20/12/2009 03:08 - United States

Today, I was approached by a policeman who asked me if I was the owner of the green Camry. Turns out my parents decided to teach me a lesson for lying where I had been by reporting the car stolen. They also wouldn't answer my one phone call. FML

Today, I got called out of class to talk to some cops. Turns out my car was involved in a hit and run accident, while I was in school and there was no possible way it could have been me. But since they have no one else, it's my fault. FML

Today, my father told me to take the car and get some groceries. An hour and a half later, coming home with the groceries, I see the cops all around my house because my dad had called them, thinking that I had run away and stolen the car. FML

Busted

Today, I was arrested by the police for sitting in what they thought was a stolen vehicle. After being slammed into the back of a squad car at gunpoint, they realized the car was actually recovered a week ago. FML

Today, I borrowed a roommate's car to get groceries. I came out to find the car stolen. I called the cops, and the responding officer took the info and drove me home to give the roomie the bad news in person. 15 minutes later, they found the car. I'd parked it on the opposite side of the lot. FML

Today, I found a cellphone. I went through the contacts and called the one listed as 'dad' to inform them I could leave it at a cash register of the store I found it in or take it to the police station so they could pick it up. They then called the police, insisting I stole it. FML

Reported

By bubblzzz - 21/06/2019 16:01

Today, my father called the cops saying I stole his car. It's my car, but his name is on the title. Why did he report it stolen? Because rather than taking him to a bar and being his designated driver, I went to a job interview. FML

Caught

By Anonymous - 14/08/2015 10:57 - Ukraine - Donetsk

Today, my car went missing. My sister constantly asks to borrow it, so I called her and asked if she had it. She swore blind that she didn't, so I called the cops and reported it stolen. They soon caught her driving the stolen vehicle. She blames me and is now telling everyone I set her up to be arrested. FML

Today, I found out that my parents changed the code on our alarm system while they were out of town. The police could not verify I was their son, despite spending hours trying to get hold of them. They thought it was just another telemarketer. FML

Today, after 3 days of hearing a car alarm going off almost continuously, the city finally came and towed it. Immediately after, the owner showed up with a switchblade, inquiring who called the city. My neighbors ratted me out, despite the fact I had nothing to do with it. FML

Confess!

By hitandrun - 10/08/2009 18:28 - United States

Today, I hit a parked car and fled because I was so scared. Four hours later, the cops showed up at my house so I broke down crying confessing everything. Turns out, they weren't there about the car I hit. They were alerting me about the string of burglaries in my neighborhood recently. FML

The police should go after your parents for wasting police time and resources. "Teaching kids a lesson" is no reason to do this.

I say fake or not the whole story. Unless this kid had a different last name AND address, the kid probably couldve explained that the parents were ******* around.

Good job copying some old news. Some kid got sent to prison for this not too long ago and ended up getting killed and the parents were pissed for lack of security or whatever even if they were the ones who had made the kid go to jail. Anyway you suck

Yeah why did nobody else point this out? Clearly this is fake. At least the part about them not answering her "one phonecall"

10 years ago when I went to jail you got one free phone call. The rest had to be made collect or by purchasing a phone card from commissary.

Did you consider NOT lying to your parents, especially when they were trusting enough to let you use their car? Good luck borrowing it next time.

She wouldn't be arrested for stealing a car until she was gone overnight with it.. if you give consent for someone to use your vehicle, & they don't return, you can't report it stolen until enough time has passed for it to no longer be considered consentual use. I know from experience.

So your parents decided to punish you for lying....by lying to the police? Clever parents!

Your parents can be charged for making a false police report. In the county court system where I work, I am certain they would be charged, and they'd probably be surprised at how seriously this would be taken by the D.A. and the judge who heard the case. Also in these parts, police are criticized all the time for failing to respond to serious stuff, and the 911 system gets a lot of flak for having people on hold too long. People like your idiot parents tie up emergency services that, odds are, really need to be utilized elsewhere at any given moment.

"Your parents can be charged for making a false police report. In the county court system where I work, I am certain they would be charged, and they'd probably be surprised at how seriously this would be taken by the D.A. and the judge who heard the case. " They did not make a false report. They lent the car to someone, with the understanding that it would be used to get them to a certain place. The person who borrowed the car breached the agreement by taking the car somewhere else. He likely won't end up being charged or convicted for theft, but there are no grounds to charge the parents with filing a false police report.

F your parents life. Today we saw our car in *scary place we don't want our daughter* we called our daughter to ask why that would happen and she told us it was stolen from her! (at gunpoint?) We immediately notified the police. Turns out she was lying and we have to pay $150 false police report and our daughter is a member of the satanist church/ local ***** house / random other scary place. YDI.
