As crews cleaned the US Capitol on January 7, 2021, the phone lines in House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office began to ring.

Rioters were calling "asking whether there was a lost and found because they forgot their phone there, or they left their purse or what have you," Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., told Insider on Friday.

Police officers quickly took down information from the callers, Raskin said.

"The officers quickly got on the phone and said, yeah, just give us your name, your address, your social, you know, and we'll tie up these loose ends," Raskin said. "But what's so fascinating to me about that there really were people who felt as if they had been summoned to Washington by the president."

7. I have no words...

"Hi, this is Fred Proudboy, I was one of the people who invaded the Capitol last week when we, you know, tried to take over the government? Anyhow, I think I dropped my car keys in Nancy Pelosi's office while I was ransacking it. They're keys to a 1995 F-150 pickup and they're on a ring with a little AR-15 replica. Could you check your lost and found office? I'm at RR 5 in Pigfuck, Alabama, and you can call me back at this number... Thanks a lot!"

I think I dropped my keys while I was shitting in the hallway outside Pelosi's office. Has anyone turned them in?"

No, idiot. You just turned yourself in.
