The Zipcar Marijuana Prank

Posted in: Cars, Drugs, Tonic

This is a true story, although it did not occur in my workplace. For obvious reasons, I have removed the original names. A friend writes:

A co-worker of mine recently rented a car from Zipcar. [In Canada, I would add. - Ed.] He found an unexpected bonus in the glove box—an ounce of weed was left by the previous owner. Excited by his surprise “score,” he unwisely mentioned it to another co-worker. Next thing you know he receives this letter in the mail.

The letter, in all its fake officious glory, plus denouement, after the jump.

NOTICE: Zipcar has contacted us saying a few people have already asked them about this policy this morning, so just to be doubly clear, Zipcar did not send this letter. It’s a fake letterhead created by this guy’s friends to screw with his head. Zipcar does not actually leave things in their cars as an “honesty trap.”
