I don't drive so I wouldn't be able to answer half these questions. In a police car, eh? Do tell!

I fear the real story isn't half as interesting as your imagination!
Okay, so I used to go horse riding every Sunday morning from the age of about 12 to early 20's at a stable about a mile from where I lived, and it was in the days before I drove, so I used to walk to and from the stable, sometimes with a friend but more often on my own.
One day, I got back from a hack to find a policeman at the stable. Unfortunately the tack room had been broken into overnight, and three saddles had been stolen.
He did his investigation, took a couple of statements from the stable manager and me, and then we all sat with a cup of tea and chatted for a while.
Then I decided it was time for me to head home. I'd walked about 400 yards, and his car pulled up behind me, and he wound down the widow and offered me a lift home.
When I was in the car, I told him just to drop me on the corner of my road to save going out of his way, and he said no - he wanted to see my parents' faces when I pulled up outside their house in a police car!!!! XD

I'll reiterate exactly the story that I told [livejournal.com profile] cuddyclothes

Hahah! Much more interesting than my cop car ride--the cop took me home when I locked myself out of my car. :D Though the look on my child's face when I pulled up in the car had to be as good as the look on your parents' face! :D :D :D

Hee hee, your reaction to eating escargot is the same as mine!

They are just a great big 'NOPE' as far as I'm concerned!

I'm the only one who's eaten escargot, lol!

You'r braver than me! :D

We agree on the Escargot. Yuck is right.

So, to what purpose were you in a police car? Were you a perp? or some other nefarious type of person??? Heh heh

Well, I'm sure it will come as a great disappointment, but I'll tell you the same story I told a couple of the other ladies:

Well, that was nice of the policeman. I love it that he wanted to see your parents' faces. So, how did they react? I bet he got a kick out of it. Too funny.
