Did the thing he thrown directly caused the goneness of his car? I think Sunshine is right. | ||

Is it relevant that his car was gone 40 seconds later? Could it as well be gone 30 seconds later? 50 seconds later? A few minutes later? Hours? Days? Weeks? Months? Years? | ||

This sounds like an Urban Legend or two that I'm familiar with...I shall attempt some probative questions. Was he engaged in a particular outdoor activity at the time? Or more of a hobby/pasttime? | ||

Was this car an actual life-size drivable car for adults? Smaller version for children? Smaller than a breadbox? A game piece? A cable car? A train car? A trolly car? Did he throw the clutch? Throw on the breaks? Did the man throw something... At the car? At himself? At another person? Were any of the above upset by this? (Yes, a car can get upset and respond by acting finicky!) | ||

hmm confused now - I thought he threw dynamite which damaged one object (not the car) and also scared an animal? and thats what I was asking about.. or was it just the animal that was affected? was the animal a bear? some sort of cat? after being injured by the dynamite did it go towards the car? get on top of it? try to hide under it? | ||

You got realy close there so i'll spoil. *SPOILER* Two men went duck hunting and want to put in some decoys, out on a frozen lake, the ice is to thick to cut through, so they take some dynamite and throw it out on the ice. Their dog that they brought along is a trained hunting dog. SO THE DOG TAKES OFF AFTER THE DYNAMITE. And grabs it and starts brining it back. The men are teriffied and starting waving their arms and yelling at the dog but the dog doesn't stop. So one of the men took his shotgun and shot the dog, the dog confused by this goes and hide under the car, then gets scared and runs off. *BOOM!* Car is gone..... Lol. |
