Too bad you didn’t get to stay longer. You could have thrown some bricks and rocks at “The Man” and burned your rental car! (sarcasm lamp is lit)

LOL. I usually avail myself of public transport when I'm off to meetings in Europe. (Not for the trip to Germany tomorrow, though -- they're having railroad strikes.)
But we had a semi-amusing moment at that meeting. During breakfast the McDonald's across the parking was robbed at gunpoint. My wife was treated to the sight of a full squad in SWAT gear running through the hotel restaurant. I was upstairs getting ready for the meeting, and so was a little surprised to see police in the parking lot, looking for all the world like they were dead serious. I quickly decided to walk in the other direction and was (barely) allowed to leave the hotel for my meeting.
Apparently the place was blocked the whole morning, bullhorns, etc. The police finally charged the place... to find it completely empty.
The robbers had mingled with the hostages they'd freed.
Oops.
