Link: IOL: Note to self: SMS to correct number
Leif Harry Ersland wanted to return a nail gun he had borrowed, so he wrote a mobile phone SMS to the owner saying “the gun is on the cabin steps.”
It didn’t take long for the police to turn up at his door, demanding to know whether Ersland was interested in weapons or had any enemies, the Haugesunds Avis newspaper reported Wednesday.
It turned out that Ersland had punched the wrong phone number. Instead of the message going to the nail gun’s owner, it went to a stranger, who called the police early Tuesday because she was suspicious about a possible gun deal.
