An extraordinary thing could have happened to me today. As I was walking home, I noticed how a car slowly followed me. After a certain distance I got fed up, turned around and walked up to the driver. Before I even managed to ask him what he was up to, he pulled down the window and turned to me:
"Excuse me", he asked in a very polite way. "Are you by any chance going to your car? I'm looking for a place to put my car."
"No, I'm not. I came here by bus."
"Oh..." He paused for a few seconds. "Would it disturb you very much, if I asked you to do me a favour?"
"Probably not. What can I do for you?"
"Would you mind stealing one of those cars?"
"What?!"
"Yes, if you were to steal a car, then I could park there."
"And I would go to prison."
"I do not think so. Have you committed any crimes before?"
"No..."
"Well, they will let you off with a fine. First crime and so. I'm pretty sure about that. I will pay the fine of course."
"I would steal a car and.... well, why?"
"To make me happy. I would get a place for my car. I could show you how to break into one. And I'd pay not only your fine but something for your trouble as well."
"Do you ask people this question often?"
"Well, when there is no parking available, yes."
"And they accept it?"
"Some people do. Some people don't."
"And I suppose the people who don't accept it, are the ones who are clever enough to realise that they will get into the same impossible situation, having a car without anywhere to put it."
"Eh... yes..."
"Goodbye."
