Hey! You Forgot The Horse!

There's a lot of history in this country about horse thieves and how they were dealt with in the old west. Often the criminals were hung, sometimes with only sketchy legal proceedings. I knew a guy once who was quite proud that one of his ancestors had ended up at the end of a posse's rope. For stealing horses, of course.

Europeans can't quite seem to get the concept down properly. Thieves in Amsterdam are leaving the horse behind and absconding with the saddles. It seems there is a growing demand in Eastern Europe for the saddles - they are making them into barstools. Which I'm sure ties into the theme of this post. Barstools made from saddles must be going into a Western themed bar. Unless the saddles are actually ending up in the famous red light district of Amsterdam. Which would be an entirely different discussion.
