This is just too disturbing for words.

Drive-Thru Molestation

Here’s the scenario:
You’re a middle-aged manager at a fast food restaurant in a large Western South Dakota city. You’re no stranger to fast food, having owned restaurants before and managed employees for much of your life. On your shift, a man claiming to be a police officer calls your restaurant. He tells you, hey, there’s a girl who works for you that stole a purse. I need you to conduct a body-cavity search.

Though your restaurant is one block from the police station, you listen to the caller’s instructions. Strip this 19 year-old girl naked? Ok, done. Ask her to bend over and inspect her back side? Ok, done. Have her sit on your lap, and also perform exercises in front of you? Ok, not a problem. Since this is a restaurant, after all, you decide to lock yourself in an office with this girl.

The original news story is was in in the Rapid Story Journal, and has even more bizarre things. Here's the one that jumped out at me.

It was an insidious hoax, perpetrated by someone who had duped other restaurant employees into similar actions in other states and locations in South Dakota.[RapidCityJournal.com]

So the phone call was a hoax, but it was one that tricked even other people than just this guy. Are there really that many people who are that stupid out there?
