My aunt did something similar years ago, but minus the handgun! She had gone to the West bakery fr kolaches and went to get back in the car and something on the car was missing...the part on the steering wheel that shows what gear you're in...then she couldn't get the key to turn on the ignition. Finally figured out it had something hers DIDN'T have...a clutch. Got in her car parked next to it and came home very embarassed and afraid that if she told anybody they'd think she went to West to get booze instead of kolaches as at that time West was the nearest "wet" town!
