The Most Absurd ‘Emergency’ Calls Police Actually Received

I’m Locked in My Car… From the Inside

A woman in Texas called 911, trapped inside her car. She said the keys were in the ignition and the engine was running, but she couldn’t open the doors.

The dispatcher hesitated and asked, “Have you tried the manual lock?” There was a pause. Then a sheepish “Oh.” She unlocked the door and ended the call. No cops needed—just common sense.
