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 automobile — not solely would the getaway be lots simpler, however the costs towards her can be far, far decrease.
However in a lot of the US, horse theft is now not a standard pastime — we now have automobiles for that now, you see. So FiveLiters1, maybe a grasp automobile thief themselves, proposed what might need been going by way of the alleged thief’s head when she took the reins:
Google tells me that the majority buggy-pulling horses are draft horses, slightly than mustangs, however Google does not inform me find out how to inform one from one other when it’s coated in saddles and towing {hardware}. Maybe this alleged thief had an identical challenge. She went out looking 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 appear to be a completely unreasonable identify 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 probably the most famously stolen Mustang in cinematic historical past.
Congratulations, FiveLiters1, in your Remark Of The Day win. I solely ask that you simply use your horse-vehicle-differentiation expertise for good, and don’t go after my BMW Gelande-Strasse if you imply to steal a gelding.
