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?"
