A Puzzler
from Carl Rinehart to Brighten Your Friday
ꜜ
The proud
owner of a magnificent 1956 Chevrolet convertible had restored the car to
perfection.
On
a warm summer afternoon he decided to take the car to town. It
needed gas, as the gauge was practically on empty, but he wanted ice cream, so
he headed first to his favorite ice cream shop.
He
had trouble finding a parking space and had to park the car down a side
street. He noticed a group of young guys standing around smoking
cigarettes and eyeing the car rather covetously. He was a bit uneasy leaving it
there, but people often take interest in such an old and well-preserved car, so
he went off to enjoy his ice cream.
The line
at the ice cream shop was long and it took him quite a while to return to his
car. When he did, his worst fears were realized... his car was gone. He called
the police and reported the theft.
About ten
minutes later the police called him back to report that they had found the car
abandoned, a few miles out of town, near a gas station. It was unharmed and he
was relieved.
The
police also reported that just before he called, they had received a call from
a young woman who was an employee at a self-service gas station. She told
them that three young men had arrived in a beautiful old convertible. One
of the men came to the window and prepaid for $20 of gas.
All three
of the men then walked around the car several times before getting back in the
car and driving off – without filling the tank.
The
question is, why would anybody steal a car, pay for gas but never pump the gas,
and then abandon the car later and walk away?
NO PEEKING ! !
If you give up . . . scroll
down.
