2. I remember something that happened about 15 years ago

My uncle's family lives near Alexandria, Louisiana so every once in a while I check the local newspaper web site to see what's going on down there. One time there was a story about a guy who went and called 911, claiming he was at a mall entrance and saw a man he knew robbing the nearby Pizza Hut. Just reading that much kind of made me suspicious because there isn't a Pizza Hut near the mall. Police went there and the manager had no idea what was going on since no robbery had taken place. The cops traced the 911 call. The guy made the call from his home. When they went there to question him they pressed redial and the phone dialed 911. He admitted the whole thing was a hoax to get the other man in trouble. I remember thinking dude at least call your parents and tell them you're going away for a while if you're going to do something that stupid.
