This happens more than you might think. I was at work one day and my boss got a call from a neighbor that someone was rolling his "yet to be restored" Rolls out of his garage and onto a trailer.
He calls the cops, and he arrives at the same time they do. Guys doing the loading find themselves backed up against the truck with their hands up. Out from the house comes his wife screaming "It's not being stolen." Cops don't know what to do, boss doesn't know what to do, guys loading car don't know what to do.
Turns out the wife was having the car professionally restored as a surprise for his birthday. Needless to say that day more than my boss were surprised.
Guys loading car probably needed a drink soon afterwards. Probably thought wifey was getting them into something they wanted no part of.

That's not the worst they've ever done. I remember a story about a shooting; they published the witness' name, her address, and what time she leaves for work in the morning!
That took a bright lightbulb to do something like that. The switch must've been turned off, no doubt.
