True story
Its a sunday night, about 11:30, the phone rings. "hello this is Conastable X is this Mr Biggs?"
"Um yes"
"And you're a key holder of Nightclub X"
'um yes"
"well we have a unit attending the scene right now are you able to attend? Sorry can I put you on hold"
What the hell? How did they get my number? Why did they call me and put me on hold, are the police playing crazy mind games? Why haven't they called the owner instead of just a parttime bartender.
"hello, stil there?
"Yep, have you called the owner can't quite see why you would need me at the moment?"
"Oh right do you have his number?"
So what happened, seeing windows half ajar an enterprising individual thought it would be a good idea to edge 20m or so around a small ledge going around the building from a walk way three stories up to the nightclubs windows, once having reached the windows and finding them locked tried to kick them open and in the process knocked himself off the ledge. He managed to grab a venetian blind on the way down which was handed back with a bit of blood on it.
In the end an abulance picked him up and I think he only broke a few bones.
Thats a definite nomination for a darwin award, just wish I new how the police got my mobile number.
