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.
