The Law
During the days of widespread horse theft, crafty thieves discovered a clever loophole to avoid being caught with a stolen animal. They would place a melting ice cream cone in their back pocket, causing a hungry horse to naturally follow them away, allowing the thief to claim the horse just followed them home. The city passed this incredibly specific law to curb this creative method of livestock rustling.
