The Drunk and the Police

A drunk phoned police from his cell-phone to report that thieves had been in his car

``They've stolen the dashboard, the steering wheel, the shift, the brake pedal, even the accelerator'' and gave them his location

However, before the Police car left the station, the phone rang a second time and the same voice came over the line

``Never mind,'' he said with a hiccup, '`I got in the back seat by mistake''
