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

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
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
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, 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
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
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
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.

FYI your parents just lied to police, that's a felony and they are soon going to be the ones in jail for falsifying a police report. After all, it doesn't say he borrowed it and they are still lying because he returned it after the night.

Love it. Your parents are awesome. It's good that there are still parents out there who will stand up to their snot-nosed lying kids.

"Hey honey, lets teach our daughter a lesson about lying! To do that lets lie to the police and file a report which would rightfully cause us to be arrested under the law!"

The parents should have just grounded the OP for lying. They had no business calling the police over something every child does at some point. What next? Are they going to send the OP to military school because she got home 5 minutes past curfew?

Your parents punished you for lying by lying themselves? I smell hypocrisy.

You probably shouldn't have lied to your parents, but in no way was that appropriate punishment! You know, the cops could charge them for wasting their precious time and tax payer's money, that's a WAY worse thing to do and much more damaging to society than lying to your parents.

For all we know, the Parents could have been good friends with the Police Agency that did this..

I call shenanigans The police would see that you had the same last name as the owner of the car and that would raise a few eyebrows, then they'd go mushroom slap your parents, and you get more then one phone call, this isn't a cheesy cop drama oh and YDI for lying
