Borrowing the Car
After shopping for most of the day, a couple returns to find their car has been
stolen. They go to the police station to make a full report. Then, a detective
drives them back to the parking lot to see if any evidence can be found at the
scene of the crime. To their amazement, the car has been returned.
There
is an envelope on the windshield with a note of apology and two tickets to a music
concert. The note reads, "I apologize for taking your car, but my wife was having
a baby and I had to hot-wire your ignition to rush her to the hospital. Please
forgive the inconvenience. Here are two tickets for tonight's concert of Garth
Brooks, the country-and-western music star."
Their faith in humanity
restored, the couple attend the concert and return home late. They find their
house has been robbed. Valuable goods have been taken from thoughout the house,
from basement to attic. And, there is a note on the door reading, "Well, you still
have your car. I have to put my newly born kid through college somehow, don't
I?"
