Old timer I shared an office with a number of years ago told me about the time in the 50s when he and some buddys trapped a bobcat and then stuffed it in a big suitcase.
They then went down the ‘disadvanted’ section of town (Green Hills in Arlington, VA), set the suitcase on the sidewalk, and then hid on an overlooking bluff behind some bushes.
Sure enough big car rolls down the road....backs up, couple of guys inside, dude gets out hands in his pockets, looks around, grabs the suitcase and throws it in the back seat. Car speeds off down the road.
Well, car speeds down the road about 30 yards that is before before doors fly open, 6 people jump/roll out and take off running.
Car was still rolling down the road with no one in it and pops the curb across the small intersection and hits a building.
TRUE story.
I had a friend in High School that bought an old hearse fairly cheap at an auto auction. He would often slow down and start to pull over when he saw “disadvantaged” walking along the road. They always dove into the ditch and would rebound back up running.
Heard that wildcat in the suitcase story nearly fifty years ago. It’s made the rounds. Still funny, though.
I believed you the first time.
