Final weekend, a lady allegedly stole a horse and buggy from outdoors a Walmart in Michigan. It seems, legally, she would’ve been significantly better off stealing a automotive — not solely would the getaway be loads simpler, however the costs towards her can be far, far decrease.
However in a lot of the USA, horse theft is not a standard pastime — we have now automobiles for that now, you see. So FiveLiters1, maybe a grasp automotive thief themselves, proposed what might need been going via the alleged thief’s head when she took the reins:
Google tells me that almost all buggy-pulling horses are draft horses, fairly than mustangs, however Google does not inform me inform one from one other when it’s lined in saddles and towing {hardware}. Maybe this alleged thief had the same problem. She went out searching for a Mustang, and located one thing that may be one. How’s she to know the distinction between a Ford and a Fjord?
I can solely hope that, for the sake of the bit, the horse in query was already named Eleanor. It doesn’t look like a completely unreasonable title for an Amish horse to have — it’s not Braxlynn or something — and it could simply be too good for the horse to share a reputation with essentially the most famously stolen Mustang in cinematic historical past.
Congratulations, FiveLiters1, in your Remark Of The Day win. I solely ask that you just use your horse-vehicle-differentiation abilities for good, and don’t go after my BMW Gelande-Strasse once you imply to steal a gelding.
