April 1st is still 20 days away?


Must be a joke, nice.

Anyway a story about 2 people I knew in the mid 70s during the Gas Shortage, both had sports cars that got 4 miles per gallon (on a good day). Really not me.

Person 1: "hired" pros to steal the car at a cost of a few hundred. Car stolen, he got a couple of thousand and the car became Campbell Soup cans. All good.

Person 2: said that was too expensive, so he and a couple of friends 'stole' his car. The drove it to the middle of a large forest and trashed it. A few months later it was found by the police. Because of his insurance and the value of the car, it cost him a lot to get it repaired.


This is wild. Has to be satire, right?

...right?


Considering they list the names and pictures of alleged customers, I'd say yes.

Otherwise, those customers would be open to some kind of fraud charges.


Of course, if common sense isn't enough, check the footer.
