So here's what happened, my brother packed all his stuff up in a UHaul and towed his truck back to Phoenix a week ago. He left only a few things behind including his prized performance/show/sports car with intentions of driving back up this weekend with my sister, celebrate his 21st b-day in Vegas and then drive it home.

The Prank:
I had a few awesome customers of mine brainstorm a few prank ideas. What we decided to do was have them call my brother and claim there was a report of stolen parts on his car and the vehicle was impounded. He is in a different state than his vehicle and not expected to be in town for another day.
As if that wasn't classic enough....
"Detective McNeese" called Daniel to inform him not only was his car impounded, but they are disassembling the entire vehicle to inventory every part and are re-possessing all stolen parts. In fact, the vehicle is up on blocks in the shop now-completely dismantled.
Then our wonderful "Detective" throws him for an even bigger loop: his sister (me) and brother-in-law (my husband) have been taken into custody on suspicion of running a stolen car parts ring. Apparently, Daniel's car was part of a huge sting operation that came to their attention when he took it in for some routine maintenance a few weeks ago. We will be held in police custody until Daniel shows up with the proper paperwork including: the title, registration, birth certificate and state id, phone records, social security card, etc.
After my brother freaks out on the "Detective" and almost breaks out into tears...TWICE...it is my turn to call him from my jail cell.
I eventually got my sister in on the prank so she could set up video of the reveal and after over 2 hours of my brother back and forth trying to find a lawyer and a way to get to Vegas tonight, I let him in on it all being an elaborate prank.
