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

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

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.

If the lesson was, not to take the car anywhere else then where you said you where headed, then this is an example of over-exaggerating parents. Assuming she is a teenager, this is very normal. Not saying it should happen on regular basis, but sometimes a teenager need their privacy, and sometimes they'll have to lie to get that. To those of you that said she deserved it: Have you never gone somewhere or done something you knew your parents would tell you not to do? I have, and i bet most of you others has as well. But now i really don't care anymore, they got nothing to do with what i do in my spare time.

Can we stop using the word "decided", or the term "thought it would be funny" in FML's? Dunno why, but it's kind of pissing me off.

I hope you are under age. Your parrents will be stuck with the bill, plus when they come clean they will get slammed with filing a false report. Tell your parents, "you know you are teaching me that lying to the cops is ok"

Anyone who thinks this is fake, it actually happened to one of my friends when I was in high school. It doesn't matter if you have the same last name or not, if you're under 18 then the car can't be in your name so it legally belongs to your parents.

It's fake because you aren't actually limited to one phone call in jail.

Ok here's how I interpret it: The OP lied to her parents about something. Something the parents didn't like. Then later when she went out (her parents knew where she was going) her parents decided that they didn't like her lying to them and they reported the car stolen so that the OP would get into trouble. So basically for lying (could have been anything), the OP got a criminal record. I interpret that lying had nothing to do with the car.

Wow, your parents are assholes. They get you a criminal record, and don't even bail you out because you got arrested for THEIR lies. I hope your parents get arrested for lying to the police, as they deserve to. You did nothing wrong. THEY did.
