April Fools!

Today has started off badly. My roomate decided at 2 in the morning to hide my Mini down the street in the garage of a friend's house. I woke up at 7:45 and he says, "I didnt know you were home, where's your car?" By this time Im not worried so I walk to the window and notice my car missing from the spot where I had parked it. I start to panick and I run outside. I run up and down the street looking everywhere. My heart is racing like crazy. I run back inside and I grab my phone. I start to dial the police when my roomate pulls the plug and says, "April Fools!" Then 4 of my other friends come out of nowhere all laughing and about 5 minutes later , my friend pulls up in my mini. So ya today hasnt started very well.

Ooooh... play whatever jokes you want on me... but leave the mini out of it.

Sounds like you handled it a lot better then I would have.

Ahh that sucks man, at least it didn't happen for real though.

A couple of times parking in lots or at school, I've thought my mini was stolen because a gigantic SUV was blocking it out of view. Then one time an identical yellow Cooper pulled up at a Wawa I was at, the out of state plates were the only difference. I wonder what the theft rate for Cooper's is?

Oooo that's so not funny.

I don't handle April Fool's Day very well in general though.
