Among the things you don’t expect to find when you come home from a vacation a police press conference about your suspicious disappearance is way up there on the list. But that is just what an Australian couple encountered according to a story coming over the API Wire.

A Melbourne couple returning home from vacation Monday were shocked to discover police about to hold a news conference at their house about their suspicious disappearance.

William and Heather Ostell’s daughter, Angela, had not seen or heard from her parents since Thursday. She went to their house in the southeast Australian city and discovered the front door unlocked, their car gone and their dog home alone.

So she called the police and reported her parents missing.

Homicide detectives were holding a press conference Monday morning at the Ostell’s home to appeal for information when the couple drove up.

Note to self: tell my loved ones before I go on vacation.
