I admit, I "stole" his television...
Back in 1994, on my very first trip, I actually stole a guy's TV...
I was running team at the time, and my co-driver/instructor drove into the plant in Lawrenceburg TN. While we were loading, he sacked out, and I was to drive out. I got directions from the shipper, and followed them to the letter, making sure each turn was a signed, designated truck route. ABout 5 blocks from the interstate, I heard something hit the stack, and figured it was just a tree branch. WRONG! a few seconds later I heard shattering glass. So I stopped and got out to investigate. Here some guy had strung his own illegal tv cable from the pole to his house, but had not strung it high enough. I had hooked the cable, and as it grew taught, it pulled his TV stand (on wheels) across the floor until it hit the wall, and the tv continued out the window onto his front lawn...
