    Yep this is true.

    By rights this should be in the "Jokes" thread but as it is a true story it ended up here.
    A couple of local lads headed off to a music festival in a car and by all accounts they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Festival over, somewhat the worse for wear, they headed back to the field where they had parked the car and there it was…...gone. Yep the car was nowhere to be seen. So you can imagine the state of the two well hung over festival goers as they trudged back out to the road. Luckily they came across a member of the boys in blue who was out directing the festival traffic. They unloaded their tale of woe on the officer who was most sympathetic and surprisingly helpful. He pointed out that owing to the festival traffic it was unlikely that the stolen car would have been driven very far. He got the details, got on the radio and alerted all the patrols in the area. The two lads gave personal details and trudged on to the nearest town.
    A couple of hundred yards down the road they spotted the car parked in a field. Yep you guessed it. Being somewhat below par after a weekend of festival festivities they had gone to the wrong field to collect the car. Over joyed the two lads collected the car and headed out on to the road to join the festival traffic.
    Half mile down the road they were pulled over by the lads in blue who recognised the car as the one reported stolen a short time earlier.
    Anyway things did not improve. Driving under the influence, no identification and being in possession of a stolen vehicle. Definitely a festival to remember.

    You don't post often, Spud, but when you do, they're gems.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Similar happened to me at the Indy 500 without the police involvement. I had parking vouchers for four days in the vast parking lot opposite the main entry on 16th. St. First three days were OK. No massive crowds for final qualifying and the display and running of the historic cars. Race day was much different, 350,000 people flood in to the speedway and the carnival, fun fair, sideshow alley etc that sets up for blocks around. Post race and looking for my nondescript Nissan renter I thought I had marked in my mind the approximate location. No. couldn't find the thing. Much later after lots had left I found it quite some way from where I thought I had left it.

    We too had a similar thing happen, a large group of us left a restaurant at the same time as another large group and a strange (unknown to us) girl got in the car with us, then said "Oops wrong car" and bolted.
