And again, it's also super stupid, again, as evidenced by the example in this thread: the cop called the wrong person and woke them up at 5:30 in the morning. That's ridiculous.
I have to call customers all the time at my job. We deliberately don't phone residential customers until after 9:30 as we don't want to bother people in the mornings.
You seriously aren't aware phoning somebody at 5:30 am is super rude?

I think we’re mixing themes here. I was really referring to people getting calls from the police in general. Not really specific to the OP. That being said, I explained the likely reason why the wife was phoned. She was likely the registered owner showing and that number is the one they called. I have no idea, as I’ve mentioned previously, the infinite amount of variables of why someone would make that call beyond that. I imagine, given the fact this was happening with a vehicle that was registered to the OP’s wife they felt the need to contact her immediately.
I never knew people would be so shocked police call people. Also, unfortunately, I have to call people at all hours of the day for a multitude of reasons. Trust me I don’t like phoning people at 530 in general but there’s not much for alternative.
