When i was little, my older sister and cousin (who were 5 at the time) locked my uncle's keys in his car, so my uncle, slightly angry, called the police to get his car unlocked. Well my sister and cousin believed he called the police to get them arrested, so they hid under my bed until my uncle finally made me tell him where they were.
