Today, I got a phone call from a detective in response to my stolen car that has been missing since St. Patrick's Day. He told me that he had found my car, but was chuckling the whole time. Turns out, I had parked my car in a different lot. I haven't had it for a week. It was never stolen. FML

my grandfather was a detective , and his neighbor always used to come up, at least once a week, and say someone stole his car, when it was really parked elsewhere. sad, but funny(:

Probably a good thing you couldn't remember where you parked your car. If you were drunk, you shouldn't have been driving anyways! You actually got pretty lucky!
