just 2 weeks ago i investigated a telephonic harassment complaint that lead to the prosecution of 5 boys ranging in age from 13 to 15. they started off with the normal "is your refrigerator running" and went all the way to "I'm outside and I'm gonna get you". now at 3AM i really don't like getting called out of bed to be yelled at by some guy and his wife about snot nosed little punks who wanna ruin there night and now mine.
within less then 15 minutes i had all 4 numbers they used to call this house and raise this working man and his wife out of bed who both by the way had to get up and go to work at 5. i myself had just pulled 16 hours and wasn't home for 2 hours when i was awakened by the bat phone. they had gotten a total of 56 phone calls in a 2 1/2 hour period making it 56 counts of telephonic harassment. they were recorded phone calls by the complaining party and i knew one of the kids by name. so i went to his house only to find he was sleeping over at a friends birthday party where i found all 5 sleeping. i woke up 5 sets of parents hauled them all down town for a long coming to Jesus meeting resulting in 56 charges being filed against them and me getting to go back to sleep around noon.
the district attorneys office found it quite amusing that i asked to prosecute them until i called him 56 times and BAM he seen the light. i got 5 convictions on a deferred sentence resulting in 400 hours of community service and 5 sets of parents having to go out of there way.
now these 5 young boys will be serving community service till somewhere in 2009 and had to write a letter to the family they tormented.
have your fun but remember it can come back to haunt you!

well im sorry for this prank that was pulled on you HitMan. but i havent done it in a while, or early in the morning. also i never called 56 times in one night, i dont think iv ever prank 25 times altogether. oh and me calling the lady and yelling at her was well a little bit different then some of you think. in my short time as a phone pranker i noticed something very noteable. i would have to dial at least 5 numbers before i would get a real number. we were just dialing radomly. we would mostly call my friends friends(but my friend was very bad at remembering phone number)
