Right after I got my phone service set up after moving...I started getting some strange phone calls. The most interesting...was from some police department in Maryland. Apparently, the prior owner (not sure if it was the homeowner, or whoever had the number last) was being investigated for some illegal doings. I'm not sure what, and I didn't want to know. For about a week, I got quite a few messages from a detective doing the investigation...and she couldn't understand why nobody was calling her back. I wasn't about to run up my long-distance charges because she was too stupid as to what was going on but, the messages continued.
After about a week, they started getting rather nasty. Apparently, since the guy couldn't be found, a warrant was issued for his arrest and they were coming.
At that point, I just had to laugh. Not only did they not have jurisdiction in PA, but they probably had no idea where they were calling. Besides, even if they did, would it be worth the 5-hour car ride for me to tell them to "shove it?"
And no, they never showed up. Oddly enough, I don't get *any* wrong-number calls now
