Can't make this stuff up

I ran into my ex-flatmates a while back and I had heard they were mugged so I got them to tell me the story. This is the funniest story I have ever heard, it literally had me in tears in the grocery store as she was telling me. I plan on regrugitate this story for you all I only hope that I can relay it even half as well as she did...

Two of my old housemates moved around the corner (literally) from where we used to live, two of the others were over visiting and all four left the house together. As they were getting in the car four guys drove up with guns, stun guns, and clubs mugged them, bet up the two adults pretty bad, one was kicked several times and the scariest part is they chased the two girls (9 &10) down the road until the girls hid in a yard and lost them. That's the bad part of the story, so they go to the police station file all the reports and stuff and go home. They were all freak out, obvisously, so they were all spending the night together elsewhere, so the two of them who lived where they were mugged, were at home picking up some clothes for the night etc. when all of a sudden they heard people in the court yard, some had just jumped the fence, this not even 2 hours after the mugging, so one of them hit the panic button on the alarm system. The people in the court yard jumped back over the fence (at least 6ft tall) and ran off. A few minutes later armed response shows up and they were talking outside when a cop car pulls up, it turns out that it was the police who had jumped the fence and when they heard the alarm go off, they ran!!!! The police set off the alarm (they didn't know it was a panic button at the time), know their the ones who did and than ran off!!! Seriously! They knew that both of them in there had been mugged just a couple hours before but still thought the best way to get a hold of them was to jump the fence, dumb asses.

The cops had gone back to the house becuase they had thought they had caught the people who did it, and wanted them to come and identify them. So that's fine, they go and do their thing and go back to the house to pick up the night bags. When they drive up they go to park on the side of the street so they can just run in and grab their bags. The car is not even stopped and this little red car packed full of young guys pulls up right behind them, so still being a little edgy the decide to drive around the block and come back, see if their still their or have gone inside somewhere, whatever. So they drive around the corner and this car follows them, they were like that's okay well just keep driving for a while, but this little red car keeps following them and is getting closer and closer. This is when Sarah (the driver) decides its time to lose them and starts flying down the main road going like 80+km/hr going through red lights and all the rest. This little red car full of guys is still following them and keeps trying to pull up beside them. Everyone in the car is freaking out completely at this point, but to make matters worse they look over and at least two of the guys have guns in their hands! They get the girls to lie down on the floor of the car, Sarah is yelling to look out for cop cars, and their going to out run these little fuckers, so like five minutes later their still flying down the road, running red lights but there's an accident blocking the road up ahead, so what does Sarah do she goes up and over the curb to get around the accident. To give you a little perspective, Sarah is the most catious driver she never speeds, would never go through a robot, so this is crazy driving for her. They get around the accident and they think they have lost the little red car and the guys with the guns. So they start looking for a police car on their way to a police station, because they had gotten mugged earlier that night no one had cell phones so they couldn't even call anyone. They are all starting to relax a little when all of a sudden the gun weilding little red car is back and is catching up fast. They see a police van up ahead so they flying for it, when the reach it everyone jumps out of the car and goes running for the police officer. They start telling him about the little red car and the gun crazied men when it pulls up beside them, all four them freak out completely and watch as 5 rather large men get out of this tiny little red car, and four of them have guns out now. But guess what it turns out that the little red car with gun weilding men is in fact police. They had gone to the house to ask another question or something and saw them leave so they decide to follow them and just ask the question when they got where they were going. SMART!! They were all so confused when Sarah took off at high speeds and started running red lights and all, especially since there were 2 kids in the car.

There were 5 police officer in one car, not marked, none of them had uniforms on, they knew that these four people were just mugged and yet they followed them like that. By the way the reason 2 of them had their guns out was because they were packed into the little car so tight that their guns were jamming the guy in the middle. I couldn't make this shit up, there's no way. I didn't relay the story in quite the same humourous manner but it's still funny as hell.

The moral of the story is... when you can find a police officer when you really need to your shit out of luck because it takes 5 of them to ask one question so just assume their busy, and deal with it yourself!
