I accidentally left my receipt at the self-checkout. A woman quickly approached, handing it back with a smile. “You dropped this,” she said. I thanked her and left.
When I got home and started unpacking the groceries, I noticed something unusual. On the back of the receipt, in hurried handwriting, were the words: “Check your tires. Someone slashed mine in the parking lot.”
My heart skipped a beat. I rushed outside and discovered that one of my tires had indeed been slashed. I immediately called the police, and it turned out there had been a series of similar incidents in the area.
