Home Depot Genius - its for real
Here is a link to more on what are real photos.
There are multiple pictures from a few different angles with references to news clippings The car could have been planted somehow but the lumber really was on the car in that parking lot. http://www.snopes.com/photos/automobiles/lumber.asp "lee houston" wrote in message . net...

One in particular that came up recently is their claim that domestic abuse
cases don't rise in numbers on super bowl Sunday. My son is in law enforcement, and has always told us superbowl Sunday is their biggest domestic abuse day of the year. So, if you can't believe that one, which ones can you believe? That lumber on the car deal is purely staged. No one would do that for anyother reason, and no one would allow someone to do that for any other reason. -- Steve Barker "Charlie Morgan" wrote in message ...
