One from Zimbabwe

This is a true story that I stole from my friend AJ...

AJ: "So...I was sitting in a car, waiting at a stoplight in Harare on my way to the airport when a guy smashed in the window and stole my handbag out of my lap...."

--Reaction: "AHHHHH, Glass!!!  AHHHHH!  Handbag gone!  AHHHHH my passport was in there!"--


She wanted to run after him but he was long gone so she went to the police station to file a report:


---at the police station---

AJ: I need to file a report.
Police man: What happened?
AJ: A guy smashed in my window and grabbed my handbag, which had my passport and my money and everything!
Police man: Was your phone in the bag?
AJ: Yes...
Police man: Well...(patronizingly) did you try calling it? 
AJ: No, why would he answer my phone?
Police man: Hold on...(whips out cell phone)...what's your number?
AJ: Are...you...serious?
Police man: WHAT'S YOUR NUMBER?!?
AJ: 0795554678
Police man: (calling) It's ringing....'ah, shamwari (more talk in Shona)' 
(hangs up)
Ok, you can pick up your things from him at 2:00pm.
AJ: (Stunned face) Seriously?
Police man: Yes, he will bring your things here at two o'clock, OK?
AJ:  Um, ok...thanks?
Police man: Yes, ok goodbye.
AJ: Goodbye...
this
really
happened
...
for reals...
