Ok so the story goes something like this...

Last exam/day at college ever, all done. Never again to go back. So what happens next? You guessed it being English the bar beckoned. After much drinking we came home, did rocket car (that?s another story) and then began to have some fun with my birthday presents

It was a really cool little RC car. Outside my window is this roundabout.. so yes you guessed it we started to drive the little car around it controlling it from the balcony (it being 3am and with very little traffic we didn't think it would be all that bad). So anyway, some cops came along and luckily we saw them coming and pulled the car into the curb and then hid. Unfortunately the saw the car and took it away with them.

So what now? Any ideas on how i can get it back or is it lost for good?


Ai3x:D

Luckily, eh? If they had surprised you, they'd have told you to quit screwing around, and left your toy with you. Now, you have to go grovel for it at the police station. Not so lucky if you ask me!

last i heard, driving an RC car under the influence wasn't a crime...

What did you hide for?

Also if you are asked to give a written statement I'd work on your spelling, it lends more cred to what you are saying.

write a letter to the station chief demanding its return. odds are the cop took it home and gave it to his kid. he probably didn't file a report or anything. not only does the chief bitch him out. he has to take it away from his kid so he feels like shit.
