 Back when I was much younger I was chilling in my apt.  when 2 cops knocked on the door. I was a bit surprised and waited for them to say something. 
“Sir, is so and so your car?”

I say - no it’s my girlfriend’s, why?

“Sir, it’s been totaled”

I’m like … what do you mean? It’s been parked for over a week and hasn’t moved. Are you sure you got the right car?

“Sir, it’s hard to explain, you better come have a look”

At this point I’m really curious more than anything. How in the world would a parked car get totally destroyed?!

I go downstairs to the covered car lot to see that my wife’s - then girlfriend’s car is missing and the roof of the car lot is ripped to shreds with tire skid marks leading out of the back. 

The cops wave me to a tree down the road where the car was half way wrapped around the tree. 

I couldn’t believe it and started laughing my ass off in total surprise and shock. 

I think you have an idea of the words that came out of my mouth next - they weren’t pretty. 

I guess the person who did this had a seizure behind the wheel while backing out and stepped on the gas full force until they pushed the car through the parking spot and into the tree. They were ultimately ok so that’s good at least. 

I had a tough call to make to my gf and try to explain that her parked car is no more. She couldn’t believe anything I told her and thought I was just trying to prank her. Then I sent pics. Her jaw dropped 😂 🤣
