Im im calgary alberta, last night i was out with a friend at a bar drinking. After a few drinks she wanted to explore a bit as shes not from around here. We entered a public movie theater and ended up in the elevator and subsequently down in the parkade. While in the parkade there was a couple of men working to clean the loose gravel and sand that had been tracked in over the winter. She being a friendly individual began chatting with one of the gentleman. She mentioned liking a vehicle they had and was told by him to have a seat inside the vehicle. She obliged and he stood next tonher with the door open the entire time. The vehicle is equipped with a push button ignition which requires the key to be within so many feet and the foor closed. She pushed the button the vehicle didnt start

She wasnt just given permission he insisted she have a seat, now after about half an hour we go to leave, at this point he starts accusing us of stealing the keys. At no point while she was in tje vehicle did she go though anything and told the guy if i had the keys it would start she went back and proved that neither of us had the key the vehicle would not start. He calls someone and we leave. We stopped in at mcdonalds for her to pee and as we leave the security gaurd comes up with these guys and starts pushing us both unprovoked. We volunteered to once again go down and prove we had not taken the keys. The security gaurd at this point is on the phone with * claiming were agresssive and hes scared. He continues to push us both around physically until the cops arrived.
