update: annoyed

[rwx]

so, apparently, someone who knew where the safety key in my truck was moved my truck as a prank last night. I've taken the safety key out of the car as a result. Very annoying, wasted a good chunk of a day on this shit, and can't drive on the errand I was going to do today because I have to wait for SPD's files to clear.

that sucks! very annoying. glad you're truck wasn't really stolen, though. i was worried because there was a cop driving down our street flashing a spotlight when i got home last night/this morning.

Lame. I enjoy practical jokes just as much as the next person, but when they stretch too far...not cool. Glad everything is (for the most part) okay, though.

teh awesome!

So glad it wasn't stolen! How far away did they put it?

Suck! Very glad you found it though - definitely the least of the possible evils, at least as far as the car is concerned - not so sure about the friend, though - stinky!

That's not even funny as a practical joke. I hope whomever did it fesses up and apologizes.

What a great joke! Want to hear a better one? Drop your tire iron on that person! Whooot!

I'm confused. What makes this "funny" in any way? To whom is it funny? Maybe the perpetrator needs a lesson in funny from the Seattle PD or the local judge. Moving a vehicle that is not yours, even if the keys are in the ignition and the car is running, is grand theft auto.

What's even "funnier" is that if you get picked up on a Friday, you get to spend the weekend in the lockup with the "mostly harmless" criminals -- and, as a special bonus, the criminally non-functional loony people -- BEFORE you get to talk to the judge and plead for personal recognizance instead of bail. Bail is probably in the neighborhood of $15,000, and as the perp will soon find out, you end up paying the bondsman 10% of bail, and you ain't getting it back.

I think this prankster owes you one hell of a good apology. I think 4-6 bottles of Johnny Walker Yellow Label Rye Whiskey would appease me, but clearly you are more of a generous and forgiving soul, so bless you, rwx.

May not have been a prank, but a joyride, or someone who needed to borrow it?
