A prank call to the Morro Bay Burger King late Saturday night about a fake gas leak led to major damage for the business, according to a news release from the Morro Bay Police Department.
Employees of the Burger King on 781 Quintana Road received a call from someone who indicated that they were a representative from the fire department advising of an emergency, according to reports. The caller said that the business’ windows needed to be broken for ventilation, and the store’s employees allegedly complied.

Well...I guess that explains why I didn't find a midget in there. Who knew?
