This didn't really happen to me directly, but involves one of my roommates from senior year....
I was working on a paper in our apartment, and I'm cranking out the pages, getting my work done, and I get a knock on the door. As I usually did when we had company (scary thought) I call out, "Come in!" There's no answer, so I get up and open the apartment door to two police officers, who ask if I'm (roommate's name). I say no, she's not here, and they ask when the last time it was that I saw her. I tell them I haven't seen her since earlier that afternoon, and they ask if there's anyway for me to get a hold of her. At first when I saw the cops, I'm assuming that something happened to one of my roommates, so I'm getting worried and when they ask if there's a way for me to get a hold of her, I get my cell phone and call her on her phone. When she answers, I tell her, "There's some cops here to see you. I'm going to hand the phone over to one of them to talk to you." After I hand the phone to one of the officers, I kind of stand dumbfounded there in our living room as the one officer talks to my roommate and the other officer is telling me that they have to check up on what's going on. After the officer is done with the phone, he thanks me for my help and leaves the apartment with his partner. I'm sitting on pins and needles until she comes back to the apartment to find out what happened.
The lowdown is this...she was at another friend's apartment helping them move a computer monitor from one friend's place to another with three other people in the car. While one of them was working on getting the monitor from the apartment, my diamond sister dares my roommate to climb into the trunk and act like she's dead to surprise the person in the apartment when he comes out to put the monitor in the trunk. My roommate refuses, but the other friend still sitting in the car says that he'll do it, so he climbs in the trunk and lays down. Well, unbeknownst to them, a pizza delivery guy pulled into the complex and observed a still body in the open trunk of her car, so he called the police and reported it to them. My roommate had to go down to the police station in town (not the campus police, the town's police) and bring in her driver's license and answer a bunch of questions.
I used this incident to have some fun with my roommate for quite a while after it occurred....
