Hunted down for a crime I didn't commit...
MONDAY

Voicemail: 'Hello, this is Jane at ___________ Magistrates Court. Just calling because you missed your Court Date today. Please respond on ______________.'

...so I phoned back

Me: 'Hi Jane, I think you have a wrong number, I got a message from you about a Court Date'
Jane: 'OK, and what is the number?'
Me: 'It's 07___ ___ ___'
Jane: ' Yes, that is definitely the number I've got on file'
Me: 'OK, well it must be wrong, because I don't even live in the town of _______, and I'm not called _________, and I'm not due in Court.'
Jane: 'Hmmph! OK. Strange...'

TUESDAY

Voicemail: 'Hello, this is Jane at ___________ Magistrates Court. Just calling because you missed your Court Date yesterday. Please respond on ______________.'

...so I phoned back

Me: 'Hi Jane, it's Snowy, I spoke to you yesterday about having the wrong number for Mr. Criminal (not actual name) You've left me a voicemail again...'
Jane: 'Oh, I am sorry'

WEDNESDAY

Voicemail: 'Hello, this is Jane at ___________ Magistrates Court. Just calling because you missed your Court Date on Monday. Please respond on ______________.'

...so I phoned back

Me: 'Hi Jane, Snowy again, you keep phoning me about this Court appearance and I've explained you've got the wrong person. Can you stop calling please?'
Jane: 'Well, as I said before... it's the only number we've got, you see?'
[PAUSE]
Me: 'But it's... the wrong number'
Jane: 'You don't happen to have another number for Mr Criminal do you?'
Me: 'Errmmm. No! I've never even heard of this person. I have no idea why they've given my number - there's probably a digit wrong or something.'
Jane: 'Yeah, probably, sorry about that.'

THURSDAY

Voicemail: 'Hello, this is Steve at ___________ Magistrates Court.I believe Jane's been trying to contact you about missing your Court Date on Monday. She's on holiday now, could you please contact me instead on ______________.'

Me: ARRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

I've had this on my landline
the actual criminal had given the police my address and they had got my number from that. I had calls and letter and eventually the police came to arrest me. When I told them I had explained about twothosandquadrillion times that he must have given fake details they admitted it should never have got this far and left me alone.

This too...
4 in the morning, banging on the door, and when I lean out my window to see what's going on there's four policemen with a dog,

'Can you open the door please mate? We're here for Mr ______ _______.
Me: 'Never heard of him...'
'Oh right. Can we come in though?'

So I let them in.

'Is Mr. ____ _______ at this address sir?'
'No - I've been here for six months. Never heard of him.'
'Oh, right. Sorry to have bothered you'
'Do you need to have a look round or see some ID or something?'
'No - no worries mate, happens all the time.'

Fucking hell....

Me too
This happened to me too, although it only took a couple of tries before they believed me.
