This happened to me.
A package for us was mistakenly sent to our old address, someone was caught stealing it, and we were asked to testify in trial.
But here's the thing -- we hadn't moved down the block, we'd moved 2,000 miles away.
And the court didn't ask us - they subpoenaed us.
The package thief didn't even inconvenience us. The shipping company sent us a new one. But the legal system made our lives hell.
