The wild reason why police showed up at my doorstep following a trip to Woolworths

A woman has been labelled a 'Karen' after spotting what she thought was a 'suspicious-looking' item in the boot of a woman's car and calling the police. The owner of the vehicle was waiting for takeaway food with her dad in the Sydney Neutral Bay Woolworths carpark last week.
The pair were looking for a lost grocery item in the boot, which was filled with plastic, before leaving. Later that day the police arrived at their doorstep to conduct a welfare check as an anonymous bystander jumped to conclusions and was certain the plastic tarp she spied was a 'body bag'.
That was not the case. 'To the lady at the Neutral Bay Woolworths car park who saw my dad and me looking in the boot this afternoon while we were waiting for our takeaway and called Crime Stoppers about a suspicious-looking tarp,' the woman who owned the car wrote on Facebook.
'The police have visited us for a welfare check - no dead bodies in the boot! Just plastic that my dad uses for work. 'We were searching for a few cans of Pringles that have vanished. Still can't find them.'. A woman has been called a 'Karen' for jumping to conclusions and calling the police after thinking she saw a 'suspicious-looking' item in the boot of a car (stock image).
The woman who called the police quickly became the subject to online ridicule. 'Should've gone to Specsavers,' one joked. 'Did the police take a missing Pringles report?' another asked. 'If they are sour cream and onion flavour, you should definitely call crime stoppers yourself, until they are found!' a third added.
