what have you heard funny as a crime that was reported to the police?

True Story: this guy went to his friends apartment and as a joke he knocked on there door and said open up it's the police well him not knowing what his friends was doing inside ( smoking Pot) went crazy and one of them jumped out the window which was on the 2nd floor ( bad idea) so what started as a joke soon got his friends some jail time. that is about the most stupid call I have ever had to respond to.

A place I used to live went downhill when the town closed some nearby projects and relocated Section 8. Those people call the cops even if a dog pisses on the floor!

I had this neighbor, young single mother of her only child, a boy age 6. She called the cop on my son, then, 8, for a kiddie fight they got into.

Eventually I spoke with her landlord who evicted her.. Hehe

I was working as Dispatcher at the local Sheriff's Office one evening when this elderly lady walks up to the window and begins telling me she had been raped. After several questions and vivid details from her, I asked one last question, "When did this rape occur?"

She replied about 40 years ago. I just like to remember it.

Yes, it's a joke.

True story:

I stopped a guy for speeding one afternoon. He was doing about 80mph in a 60mph zone. I walked up and introduced myself and asked if there was some kind of emergency or reason he was driving so fast.

He replied that he was just keeping his ears warm.

I said, "Do what?" and he replied that he had his head up his a$$.

I let him go with a promise to cool his ears and heels.

I like the recent one where the burglar dropped his cellphone at the crime scene, then called later to see who found it (the police). Made an appointment to meet and get his phone back. Was, of course, arrested.

I would have to say among my favorites are:

--the bank robber who wrote the note on his own deposit slip!

--any one of several who have gotten stuck in windows, chimneys or heating ducts.

--the burglar who lost his paycheck at the scene of the crime, which was found by police. He wanted his employer to replace the check!

--the son of a local police chief who borrowed daddy's uniform and police car and was making traffic stops--until he stopped a real cop. Oops!

How about the crook who left his cell phone at the scene of the crime. He later called to arrange to pick it up. Isn't that pretty dumb. Or the mexican prisoners who dug a tunnel to escape and wound up in the court where they were sentenced and the judge added more time to their sentences for trying to escape.

Someone called in that a person had stolen thier drugs.
