My father told me that the magnet is missing off the back of his car. It is one of those “support our troops” magnets that have an America flag theme. It is a strong magnet that could hardly have fallen off. Someone had to have taken it.

Was it someone who is against having troops in Iraq and was making a statement?

Was it someone who was just doing so for a lark?

Was it someone who wanted a magnet for himself and could not afford the $1.50 cost?

Which scenario would you choose? The pessimistic, the practical, or the pitiful?
