It may be a lie but

my eldest son came out wth a story that has us roling on the ground with laughter. When my youngest son comes home each January he organises a family reunion at his uncle's place by the sea. This year was very special as they met a cousin that they had never seen. Amazingly he looked like my children. He and his wife said they would be back next year and he would try to bring his brohers and their families too. Anyway back to the story! We were all coming out with tales of how creative the workers could be when stealing produce etc from the farm. I had just told the story of my husband transporting a coconut thief to the police station. The thief then sent a message to my husband to come and bail him! My eldest son then told the story of how a man named Boo stole a cow from a neighbour of ours after I had stopped living on the farm. He said the man stole the cow and then put the cow into a deep pit and covered the cow with earth leaving out only his head. He fed and watered the cow for one week before he was caught! The police made Boo dig out the cow and take it back to the owner. We literally howled with laughter (not at the poor cow) but at the ingenuity of the action and also to imagine seeing only the head of the cow sticking out of the ground. No,we were not nice. My son swore that the story is true and was backed up by several people there who used to work for us on the farm. Have you any stories of someone stealing from you or someone you know that was - shall we say - a bit different from the norm?
