When we first moved here, we heard a similar story. A group of college students staged a “prank kidnapping” at a local bistro. An armed citizen stopped the kidnapping with lethal force. But this could have just been a urban myth.
A few days before my brother’s wedding we “kidnapped” him for a bachelor party.
As we were driving out with him in the car, the police were driving in. We figured they had better things to do with their time so we kept going.
