Senior Citizen falls victim to Motel 6 prankHere's a brand new PrankNet news story:
According to the Smoking Gun, Joseph Jones, 73, was sleeping in a Motel 6 room in Spartanburg, S.C. late Sunday evening when he was awakened by a phone call.
The male caller, who identified himself as a hotel administrator, spun out a bizarre story about a prior guest having left “highly sophisticated cameras” in the guest’s room. The man told Jones that “he would tell him what to do to get rid of them,” according to a Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office report.
At the caller’s direction, Jones took the ceramic toilet tank cover and smashed the television (presumably a hiding place for a hidden camera). Since the cover shattered without breaking the TV, the caller told Jones “to throw the TV outside and he did.” Jones was then told that cameras were “behind the mirrors and that he needed to smash them.” The guest complied, grabbing a wrench he had in the room to smash the mirrors.
