While working as a police officer many years ago I was called to a Pri-Mart regarding a trespasser. The business sat at the edge of town and was closing for the night; it was just after midnight. When I arrived, I was met by a distraught female clerk. She claimed a strange man wearing nothing but his socks had come to her front door, which was locked. When I checked the area I found the man hiding, unclothed still, under a large pine. I arrested the man and asked him why he did such a thing. He stated it was a prank for a friend of his that worked at the Pri Mart. He learned all too late that he'd gone to the wrong store.
