"Punk'd" is back after a three-year hiatus, and on Oct. 14, Lauren Conrad became the victim when "Parenthood" star and former "Punk'd" punker Dax Shepard spotted her on her way back from lunch at King's Road Cafe..

According to The Fashion Spot, Lauren happened upon a trash compactor truck... that apparently had a woman stuck inside it.

"After Lauren and her friend finished their meal, she was apparently tricked into thinking a woman was stuck in the trash compactor of a passing garbage truck. A visibly concerned Lauren even got in on the rescue effort, helping unload bags of recycling from the vehicle, as a group of people tried to 'free' the woman. Lauren realized she was on the receiving end of a major prank, however, when Dax Shepard showed up on the scene. Lauren looked genuinely surprised -- and relieved -- as he gave her a hug and reassured her that no one had really been in danger."

We're not sure this is going to be one of the funnier episodes... finding someone stuck in a garbage truck isn't exactly hilarious.
