A woman telephoned the police to report that she’d spotted a flying saucer, and that men from space had been at work on her car.

“They’ve stolen the steering wheel, the brake pedal, and the entire dashboard,” she reported.

The desk sergeant agreed to investigate.

A few minutes later, his phone rang again.

“Don’t bother,” said the same voice. “I was so shook up, I got into the back seat by mistake.”
