One of our old business agents had a supervisor following him before he became a BA. He called the cops and they pulled the dude out of his car and put him in cuffs before they realized it was a Supervisor. šŸ˜‚
Waaay back when I was still trying to qualify as a package car driver, I was hustling and cutting corners on my last week of qualification. I left the key in the ignition while making a delivery, turned around to see the truck pulling away with someone at the wheel. Ran it into the closest business and called 911 and reported my truck stolen; they immediately put out an APB. The dispatcher kept me on the line and told me they had spotted the truck and were making a stop. In my head I'm thinking, "Ok, maybe somehow I can get the truck back, finish my day, UPS will never find out, and I can still qualify". Dispatcher says, "Jones, he claims he's your supervisor". This had not even occurred to me as a possibility; I honestly thought my truck had been stolen by some rando. The dispatcher tells me they're bringing him and the truck back to my location, and they won't release him until I ID him as a UPS supervisor. So they show up and I say "Yeah, that's my boss" and the cop just starts chewing him up and down about all the trouble he's caused and how he could have gotten himself shot and blah blah blah and I'm thinking he's gonna fire me as soon as the cops leave but all he says is "That's why you don't leave your keys in the ignition". He was more worried than I was about UPS finding out about the incident. Found out later that when they stopped him it was like Hawaii 5-0, they locked it up sideways in front of the truck and jumped out with the guns out, made him toss out the keys and lay face down in the street. Years later people in that town would ask me about it, "Hey one time I saw the cops stop a UPS truck up on Main street and they had some guy in a suit laying face down in the street, what was that all about?"
