A Whole New Twist On Rustling
There have been cattle rustlers for probably about as long as there have been cattle. It was a hanging offense in some places in this country not really all that long ago. But this story, from Ogdensburg, New York is a whole new twist on the crime.
Victor R. Gardner, 22, is accused of squeezing seven of the young cattle into the back seat and trunk of a 2000 Dodge Neon. He is charged with third-degree burglary and third-degree grand larceny.
Gardner had the help of an accomplice when he allegedly drove the calves to a barn in DeKalb, St. Lawrence County Sheriff's deputies said.
I have heard of truck rustlers and I have even heard of chainsaw rustlers, but I have never, ever heard of a Dodge Neon rustler. Will wonders never cease? But just think of what Detroit could do with this!
"Dodge Neon, with the largest cattle carrying capacity in it's class!" Hey - I want to copyright that idea!
