someone I know parked his car up at night and went to bed, next morning he goes to his car and it is smashed in at the back. He went to the police station in order to report it so he could get it fixed - he then finds himself in trouble with the police for crashing into another car and failing to report it. Turns out it was someone local who had backed into his car and in order for him not to get in trouble he went to the police and made a false claim stating this guy had crashed into him and drove off- guess who the police believed??!
