ya, it does suck. my brother didn't believe it when he got the call, neither did my mom when they called about his car. They called my mom first, and she thought it was one of his friends prank calling or something. Then after the convinced her it was real she gave them my brothers cell number. So they called him and said "hi, this is constable ____ calling to report that your red integra has been involved in a hit and run, we're waiting outside with the car right now." so he thought is was a prank, cause everyone knows he drives a red integra, so he just says, oh it was, suuurree. so then after a while he figures he'll go outside and see whos pranking him, he looks around the corner and doesnt see the cop car, so he just went back into the bar. then about ten minutes later, phone rings again, the same number as before, so he picks up and says "oh, you again" so the cop asks him again to come outside and my brother goes "ya, i did, you're not out there. and i'm getting tired of you trying to prank me, how did you get my cell number anyway?" so the cop says, "your mom (says name) gave it to us) so then my brothers thinking, huh...i dont know anyone who knows my moms middle name...so then he said to the cop, "wow, this is actually sounding kind of real..." cop: "yes sir, it is, now will you please come outside" ya interesting night for our family.
