The other day, I was in a bicycle shop, I asked if I could test drive a bike I was thinking about buying... Can you believe, I had to turn over my license to the clerk and he held till I got back. I explained to him if I didn't come back w/ the $300 bicycle he could have my $20,000 Saab in the parking lot. He was not amused....Anyway, I gave him my license. He went on to explain that people come to the store and ask to test drive-and they never come back... Just another day in Paridise....
