unlucky kidda, what a shite set of circumstances, good to know there were people around who cared though.

top tip though. ditch the friggin man bag and carry your wallet in your pocket, if you weren't such a hermo you wouldn't be in this mess ;)

I'm sure it will sort itself out...been in similar circumstances (not here) and once it blows over you can laugh about it.

Out if interest, did they ask if you have a liquor license? I'm just wondering if they are actually any use.

Let alone what your current or future employers/clients would think.

When you're in a hole, stop digging.

Good luck.:fingerscrossed:

ok hadn't drank in 10 weeks - went to a bbq, got drunk and decided to get myself off home, got home and had left bag with wallet in, told cab driver I'd get cash from the house and promptly fell asleep in the house.

half hour later cab driver and police come, demand money, I said I didn't have it and after being asleep and drunk was pretty all over the shop - they handcuffed me tightly behind my back and dragged me off.

I had no lenses in so could hardly see and no socks or shoes on.

They locked me in a dark police van and I am claustrophobis so when we stopped I asked them to let me out, they laughed and I had a panic attack and started hoofing teh slidinfg door - and pretty much buckled it to bits, it now won;'t close.

They went mental, dragged me off to jail and left me in there for a few days before I managed to get out and make a phone call and get a few people, bluecat and meow and her husband to help get me out.

I didn't sleep, eat, or was in there for 2 days andhave a scar on my wrist where theey handcuffed me to a chair for 15 hours.

I am now on bail and have sorted the cab driver so have a drunk charge and should get a fine for damaging police van - I paid 20k to lawyers and fine could be another 20k.

This was 5 weeks ago and still no court date, so it's really hanging over me.

Thanks for the support anyway.

Some of you.

Back home, anyone appearing disrespectful to those nasty, oil rich Arabs would probably be hero worshipped, your folks included.
