Good morning Joe! Your car is on its side. (with pics!)

Sign in to disble this ad
So about 2 hours ago I got woken up by my phone ringing. Dad cell. What the hell? I try and answer, but I miss it. So I listen to a voicemail message. Its the Sheriff's dept. "This is sheriff blah blah, you need to contact me as soon as possible" What the hell?!?! I call home "Joseph! Are you alright? Where are you? Where have you been? The sheriff needs you!" "Um, I've been sleeping in my bed since 1am" "call the sheriff, your cars on its side, and no one could find you" What in the hell?!?! So I put on some clothes, and call the sheriff. "your car is on its side in the middle of the music parking lot" So I walk over and sure enough, my car is on its side in the middle of the parking lot. What is going on?!?!

Apparently, someone pulled pulled a prank on me and was either trying to flip it over and got lazy, or were only trying to move my car sideways so I got myself a ticket and a confuzzled expression. I don't know weather or not it was a random prank, or if someone is pissed off at me. But right now my car is heading up to shop in the Springs since there was oil leaking out of it like it got shot. My passenger side mirror is smashed, and the side's kinda looking fugly right now, but no windows were broken.

My morning is starting off incredibly well.

Hehe, I can't sleep for crap right now since I'm trying to figure out who might have done this. No, I didn't get a ticket. But the sheriff told me to give him a call if I hear anything from anyone about a prank. Especially if the cost of fixing it is pretty high. Should only be a simple clean up here and there, and replacing some of the fluids.

But I really don't think the sheriff's going to do anything to "investigate" this at all. And I'll get a picture or two up when I find a micro SD card from someone.

Still sucks. But the damage could have been worse I guess, if it was flipped over completely.

Exactly. Its all cosmetic right now, except the oil and whatever else goes wrong with a car being on its side.

True, they like to total them once they go upside-down.

when I was in high school, a guy who I played football with gave a friend and I keys to his suv, because he was always locking his keys in. We would constantly move his car somewhere far away, un bolt his driver seat, take off one of his wheels, etc. Never did we turn it on it's side. what jerks.

Hi.

Back in the day we had a saying:

"No matter how pissed You are at someone, leave their ride alone"


Only a total loser can't confront a person, but smashes his/her ride instead.

Come to think of it, the saying still applies in some circles (MC) I'm with.

Regards
Sam

There's a Fiat model named "Bis",at least thats what its called here if you don't know.Here's a pic.



10+ years ago,one of these was parked at our parking lot and we were the little bastids who messed with everything,so as a prank we lifted the car and changed the way it looked just for fun.I still remember the owner's "what the heck??" face when he saw it.


Sorry about your car Joe,that's a stupid prank.

ps:No harm was done to the car we pranked.

And no, there are no cameras.
