sarg1010 Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Just a small story but I found it funny. http://www.mlive.com/flintjournal/index ... pound.html GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Michigan -- Somebody call Linus -- the Great Pumpkin has been kidnapped. Bill Teer spent five months growing a massive pumpkin in his garden only to have it stolen from his front yard Thursday. Teer figures it must have taken three people to haul the 450-lbs. Atlantic Giant from alongside his driveway on Halsey Road near Baldwin Road. The pumpkin had only been on display a day before Teer's wife discovered the theft as she left for work about 5:30 a.m. Thursday. Teer believes his great pumpkin is worth $1 a pound and is offering $200 for its return. He figures someone out there has to have seen it. "You can't miss the thing," said Teer. More stories if you go to google and search "450 pound pumpkin gets stolen". Just thought this would be funny :D Unfinished netherrack symbol of Khorne. Never forget. ~creeper face w/single tear~ DO YOU HEAR THE VOICES TOO?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren211 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 There are very few explanations as to why someone would steal a giant-[wagon] pumpkin: 1) Idiot teens looking for laughs, then realized they didn't think of how to transport or hide the pumpkin, and promptly get caught. 2) Idiot teens looking for something to destroy that's massive. Took pumpkin, brought home, destroyed it, got rid of pieces. Never caught. 3)Professional criminals who efficiently stole, transported, and hid the pumpkin without leaving any evidence. Perhaps wanted to resell it, or just prove to friends they could steal such a massive thing. Not caught for months. 4) Massive group of unemployed bakers who plan on making pie or bread out of said pumpkin. Never caught, all the evidence was promptly eaten by unsuspecting customers. To steal such a big pumpkin... you're either really stupid or really smart. There's very little in between. Be cool if someone found it though... [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you. Yes, humankind's hatred against you goes beyond mathematical possibilities.That tears it. I'm starting an animal rebellion using my mind powers. Those PETA bastards will never see it coming until the porcupines are half way up their asses.[/hide]Apparently a lot of people say it.

deloriagod Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Now this is the most random thing to steal,wonder who did it... Are you saying it's random because of it's size? Pumpkins are often stolen in my area and promptly smashed within a block or less of the victims house. Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenin64 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I wonder if it's big enough to live inside if you carve out the middle I think they did something like that on "Hey, Arnold!". They turned it into a card house or something. Around here, pumpkins are only stolen at halloween, and then promptly smashed. But then again, we don't exactly have 450 lb pumpkins growing in our backyards. Command the Murderous Chalices!

warren211 Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 If teens were behind this, they obviously want to show off their loot. So we can expect a youtube video soon where the teens smash the pumpkin with loads of sledgehammers. I for on am going to patrol youtube videos :twisted: [hide=]tip it would pay me $500.00 to keep my clothes ON :( :lol:But then again, you fail to realize that 101% of the people in this universe hate you.
