A man recorded a woman calling the police Tuesday to report he was breaking into a car -- except the car was his.
Corvontae Davis, of Oak Creek, said he was simply getting change from his car to feed a parking meter when he was suddenly labeled a thief.
Davis narrated his encounter with the woman Tuesday at St. Paul Avenue and Milwaukee Street, near the Milwaukee Public Market.
"I was getting ready to put money in a meter or whatever, and she has nothing else better to do and asked me if I was breaking into my car," Davis said on video.
Davis told WISN 12 News the woman said she was calling police.
"I hit unlock, but it wouldn't open, so I went around to the other side and opened the door after hitting unlock. And by that time, I hear this lady shouting, screaming, 'Dude, why are you breaking into that car? Whose car is that? Does it belong to you? Davis said.
Davis waited for police to arrive figuring it'd look bad if he left. They quickly verified the car was his, but by then, the woman was gone. He's convinced this was more than a case of "See something say something."

The dispatcher already has the cell number. If it turns out that the caller was not calling about an actual crime, just send a "fine due" notice in the mail like is done with traffic camera violations now.
Voila! Instant additional revenue stream for the cities (it'll dry up soon though as the racists start to realize they'll be held accountable for their cell phone racism).
It's not like her phone # wasn't recorded by dispatch.
