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 throughout
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?"
