Re: Seen In San Diego

BTW, I have to share this. I played a dirty trick on a very good friend. When I was going through the police academy in San Diego, I found a rainbow cowboy hat sticker in the campus parking lot. I laughed and showed it off to the the guys in class. I knew I couldn't mess with my brothers or academy staff so I cooked up an evil plan. After my last class at 10:00pm I drove home, picked up the wife and made a drive up to Orange County where my buddy was working graveyard shift for a municipal PD up there. I snuck into their employee parking and placed the sticker on the back of his Bronco. My wife and I laughed our asses off the whole way home. He was such a straight-laced guy too, like Joe Friday of the Dragnet series, which made it even funnier.
He never called ma about it. In fact, it was almost a year that we met up again. He came down to meet me and another SD FBI friend for lunch. As we we're paying I asked him if he ever found that rainbow cowboy hat sticker. He yelled, "You mother-fucker! It was you, you son of a bitch!" all throughout the entire restaurant. I was laughing so hard now, I cried and could hardly breathe. I nearly pee'd myself. The FBI guy stood there smiling knowing he was going to get some dirt on my friend.
My friend explained that the sticker was on his Bronco for almost 2 weeks before he found it. People on the road were acting weird around him, over friendly or giving him the stink-eye. A few flipped the bird and called him all sorts of "colorful" names. His fellow cops started distancing themselves from him, no beers after shift, no lunch breaks, etc. He was persona non grata overnight! Finally, his Sergeant asked him if he needed to talk about "something" and asked if he dumped his girlfriend, etc. The Sarge pointed out the sticker and my friend was furious! This incident didn't end there that night.
Now with my friend all PO'd, he interrogated everyone at the station, determined to find the bastard who did this to him. Everyone at the station laughed even harder knowing it was a set-up all along. He calmed down and made peace with it but he was dying to find out who did it. He said he could only think of one SOB who would do this be devious enough to do this but I was about 120 miles away, going through a Level 1 police academy, and held a full-time job at the time. I had the motive, the means, but he did not realize I had the opportunity. We still laugh about this...well, at least I do.

I had a "friend" do this to me while stationed at Ft. Meade. I drove around for a week and a half with the damn thing on my car before my 1st Sgt. told me he thought someone was having some fun with me and I should check my bumper....
I too was wondering why guys were giving me funny looks and the one blatantly feminine guy in the barracks seemed to think I was more interesting after that.
My buddy was in tears when he finally admitted he did it, the bastard.
