Random: Neighbour Sends Apology Pokémon Cake After Calling Police On Pokémon GO Players

All is well that ends well.

It's wholesome, but there's something very r/comedyheaven about a cake with Pokemon on it that says "sorry we called the cops on you".

I love that! there's no problem that can't be solved with a "sorry I called the cops on you" cake.

The cop let them go because he was playing Pokémon GO before he got a call to check on a suspicious driver.

This is so sweet! I loved that it didn't result in a generations long neighbor feud. The fact that they made a cake shows that they were truly contrite for what happened. Wish more people could be this nice about mistakes.

@RupeeClock I mean, even in context this cake is epic, haha.

Driving around slowly isn't merit enough to be called on cops for is it.? There's far more trouble in the world than to waste police energy on that.

Wonder what the bakery that made the cake thought of all that.

@Porky

Considering most of the world is a ghost town right now, it is extra noticeable when there is only one car on the road and it's stop starting.

As an American, I am relieved that this was the outcome. I don't know how many of our British friends across the pond hear about it, but too often, scenarios like this end in someone getting killed.

"Land of the free, home of the brave," my hind end. Part of me is beginning to wish we had stayed a colony. Then we could have ended up like Canada and Australia.

I would have thrown that cake in their yard.

@Porky I wouldn't try to generalize something like that, as someone who had a motorcycle stolen that kind of behavior can easily be someone who is up to no good. Sometimes it's better to be safe than sorry.

Neighbour turns out to be gluten intolerant, it's not very effective.

@idrawrobots And then you'd be as ignorant as you thought they were. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Had a daycare call on us for walking buy even though we were across the street and only went by once. The cop got a bit of a laugh when he figured out what they called us in for, so it was all good.

In my country people would be too proud to admit they misjudged someone. I envy this level of politeness.

@Porky That’s how most robberies happen in first place...

Good on them for owning up to it, but I think a lot can be solved by not jumping to conclusions. Or through direct communication. I had a upstairs neighbor who I regularly hung out with call the cops on me and my band at 9:27pm when we were finishing up...she didn't bother phoning, texting or informing us that she had just got a new job requiring her to wake up at 3:30am. Let's talk to one another like regular people!

@AstroTheGamosian Also as an American, I'm quite proud of the place I live and definitely don't want it like Australia or Canada (no offense to my Canadian and Australian friends, mind you). There is good and bad in all countries, but overall we are definitely A LOT freer than most countries. If you don't believe me, try living in or even visiting those countries. I have.

That being said, this cake is epic and the neighbor should be commended for diffusing a potentially bad situation and making it a good end. We definitely need more of this in the world, especially now.

Nobody likes a grass

@Porky if they were in a white van they had it coming.

There’s no need to burn fuel for something like this. People should be a little more conscious.

They ""stood 10 feet back"", after fingering and breathing all over the cake ingredients as they made it. Totally pointless lol

@nintendork64
We used to be.

@stevenw45 because you might get cake?

Do you ever just stop, step back and fold your arms and think what a weird world we live in? Lol

Here's the thing here they didn't even know this was their neighboor? How can one be so stupid to not at least recognize a neighboor. What has the state of un-United States of America become????? Someone tell me.......????? Where has common sense gone??? Cake is good but doesn't people think anymore or just go outside get some fresh air and see your neighboors.

@nintendork64 Oh, believe me, I know we have a lot of freedoms here, more so than other countries, and I truly appreciate that. But a lot of our friends in the developed world also have such freedoms, so it's a moot point.

But yeah, I do agree with you on the cake part. We need more of that lately.

@AstroTheGamosian No, you are quite incorrect. I regret to inform you that the US could never have become as skilled at Aussie rules or, more importantly, hockey.

i sent this cake to my mother 6 months ago as a surprise for her birthday

she hasnt contacted me and i cant get a hold of her for some reason

That's one yummy cake. I'm glad it represent all four of the classic Pokemon games: Pokemon Leaf Green, Pokemon Fire Red, Pokemon Water Blue, and Pokemon Electric Yellow.

Funny, when someone vandalized my car, police asked what I wanted them to do about it and why I was even telling them. But someone drives slowly and that warrants getting the police?

Sounds like a lot of BS to me.

@Porky I would agree, people like to over-react, I don't know.

Or maybe we lucky and just live in a really nice areas where something malicious wouldn't even cross our minds. I know I do!!

@nintendork64 Or flip a coin, people wouldn't like to live in America because of your gun problem and schools etc. Its two sided to be honest!

Also the developed work is free? I miss your point! can you explain what extra freedoms you think you have, over Canada or others?

I can understand the neighbors concerns of course, but its sweet that they apologized and what an awesome (and hilariously worded) cake.

This probably wouldn’t have turned out nearly as well for someone like me but good for her.

They did nothing wrong in calling the cops, they saw a suspicious vehicle and felt it was necessary but in the end it was all a misunderstanding so they properly apologize. They were mature about it and accepted the apology without the need to start drama regarding them calling the cops. All is well that ends well. 👍

The internet is a magical place.

@Heavyarms55 To be fair, what exactly would the police realistically be able to do about your vandalized car? Unless there was a witness or some obvious bit of evidence left behind, there'd be no leads to even begin an investigation. They can't exactly send your car to a forensics lab to test for trace DNA or be able to determine and trace the blunt weapon that was used.

@BulbasaurusRex They could promise to run some patrols through my neighborhood. They could log the report and compare it to other reports and see if there's a pattern of people going around causing trouble. Or they could politely explain that they just don't have the resources to spare dealing with that because they have to arrest more people for smoking marijuana to meet their quotas.

Instead, they brush me off like "Why do we care your property got vandalized? What do you think our job is, to serve and protect? Naw, we have some minorities to harass!"

Are these cakes pre-concept? Otherwise the baker must be a Pokemon fan making it look like that.

@Heavyarms55 They could've been more polite about it, but it's not at all feasible to add patrols over one case of non-violent vandalism. I suppose they could log it, but the chances of an identifiable pattern are slim to none; and even if there were a pattern, you wouldn't get much information out of it that could identify a likely culprit or next target until someone actually witnesses it. Most people are smart enough to go to at least another neighborhood for their next target, if they are even planning on being a serial offender in the first place. Overall, that would be a much worse waste of resources than going after drug violators they actually have a decent chance of catching!
