DOUGLAS, Ariz. — Someone made a bogus fire district SUV in Arizona – but they made a big error.
A crucial spelling mistake gave away a “cloned vehicle” in Arizona, U.S. Border Patrol agent John Modlin said. The car was modeled to look like it belonged to the fire chief.
The SUV should’ve said “Mormon Lake Fire Dist.” on the car door. Instead, it read “Mormon Like,” photos posted on Aug. 8 show.

Officers rushed to the scene, but no one was in the SUV when they arrived. Officials said several people fled to Mexico.
“Agents responded to a suspected vehicle incursion and encountered the abandoned SUV,” Modlin said on Twitter.
Modlin did not say what happened to the vehicle.
