Run in with dodgy police

A short transcript of text messages to and from my sister sent this afternoon

20.41 B -  Oh my god we are being scammed by the police for about €100. And we are totally last which poo pants is blaming me for AND we got ripped off at lunch.  Sucks!

20.50 B - If anything happnes we are in Zagrab and their license plate number is 190-943 and its a police car. They are meant to be driving us to Hotel Fala.

20.56 B - Not dead or imprisioned. They dropped us off at the hotel and bugered off empty handed.  What a crazy day.

20.58 S - Bloody hell! Only realised you messaged by the time you sent the last one! What the hell has been going on?  Yay that you're ok!

Basically we were driving along, lost in Zagrab when Mark pulled a dodgy move int he car.  Some police pulled us over and demanded about €100, sans ticket. When we said we didn't have any money on us they offered to escort us to the bankomat, which we said we were happy to do if we were given a receipt.
So they offered to drive us to a hotel, and was convinced they were taking us up some dodgy back streets and I started texting my sister with details of where we were and their license plate numbers.
They ended up dropping us off at a hotel, which is were we are now, safe and sound.
