I'm sitting at the bar with a few friends, and one of my friend's wives, having some drinks. About an hour in she gets a call on her cell phone sitting at the table, and it's a cop. He says he pulled over a guy for drunk driving, and he has her purse.

Some guy came to our table, and stole her purse. Got pulled over a few miles away for DUI. How in the hell did the cop know her cell phone number? Even if he had her id in the purse? Is there a national database of cell phone numbers attached to each and every one of us?

BTW, this happened at JD's Baitshop, and the cop brought her back her purse.
thats wild! lucky her replacing IDs is the pits
