[Solved] Show where guy in college calls home asking for a photo of his car's hood
The guy tries to surprise his family by asking for a photo of the car, then plans to pop out of a fake car seat. But the plan backfires when he gets stuck. The car has a toy car glued to the hood. The request was something like "the guys don't believe I glued a toy car on the hood, can you send a pic of it" or something.
The show has mystery elements, and the episode starts with the premise that the guy is missing. I forget how popular of a show it is.
Since this is marked as "solved", I wish you'd post the answer! Not just for me, since I've seen this show but can't remember which series it was from and now it's driving me crazy, but for anyone else in the future who's searching for this same show and finds this post.
Thankyou! For some reason, I can only see my comment and yours. I thought it was Sherlock, but I couldn't find any of the details mentioned in episode listings. IIRC it was a "side mystery", so maybe that's why.
