Heh heh. I loaded up a whole summer's worth of 12 pack cases into my truck one fine August day and headed to the depot on 10th and 6th. I got there and the lineup was out the door and into the parking lot. So I did what you did, summoned the hobos. There were four of them sitting on a log (I don't know why there was a log in a downtown alley). They swarmed my truck like stink on an Edmontonian. Picked 'er clean in less than 15 seconds.
I gave myself a pat on the back for that act of charity.
