It was 1994. I was going to move in less than a week to Vancouver with my four children. I still have some stuff in my house that I wanted to get rid of.
I was lazy and scrooge, so I did not contract to have this stuff disappear. I had noticed a nearby construction site that was almost abandoned and where people were dumping stuff.
So, one night around 9 PM, I loaded my car with my stuff and went to the construction site. As soon as I arrived there, a police car showed up from left field. I stopped and wait for them.
One of the policemen asked me what I was doing there. I replied: "I was about to commit a crime" ("Je m'apprêtais à commettre un forfait"). The policeman was quite surprised by my answer. He asked me to open the back of the car.
They looked at it and noticed two big loudspeakers that I had bought several years ago. I believe the brand name was Braun. Yes, I told them, they are still working. So, they took them and put them in their car.
After checking that I was not dumping any medicament/drug or anything organic, they left after hinting that I was free to do what I wanted. So, I dumped the remaining of my stuff.
A third case when I was in the wrong, but I suffered no consequences when I told the truth to the cops.
