幽默故事

At the Police Station one day，the phone rang．A blonde came over the line to report robbery．She said that thieves have been in her car，they stole the steering wheel，the dashboard，the brake pedal，and even the accelerator．Before the Police could start the investigation，the phone rang a second time，and the same voice came over the line and said，“Don't worry I got in the back seat by mistake.”
