Final weekend, a lady allegedly stole a horse and buggy from exterior a Walmart in Michigan. It seems, legally, she would’ve been a lot better off stealing a car — not solely would the getaway be so much simpler, however the fees towards her could be far, far decrease.

However in a lot of america, horse theft is not a typical pastime — now we have automobiles for that now, you see. So FiveLiters1, maybe a grasp automotive thief themselves, proposed what may need been going via the alleged thief’s head when she took the reins:

Google tells me that the majority buggy-pulling horses are draft horses, relatively than mustangs, however Google does not inform me the way to inform one from one other when it’s coated in saddles and towing {hardware}. Maybe this alleged thief had an analogous difficulty. She went out in the hunt 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 wholly 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 essentially 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 abilities for good, and don’t go after my BMW Gelande-Strasse once you imply to steal a gelding.
