A couple in Texas find a seemingly abandoned car and think they've stumbled across a crime scene. And they're right...but not in the way they imagined. Michael May tells the story. Michael is the Books and Culture editor at The Texas Observer. (18 minutes)
After listening to that radio segment, I felt really bad for that couple. If I were in their shoes I would've done the same thing that they did. I thought that it was wrong for the cop to not tell them the truth about the bait car. If he would have just said that it was a bait car and that they should just leave it alone, then they could have prevented all of the problems that they had to go through with the couple. I don't think the couple should have had to spend all the money for the lawyers and have all that stuff on their record. I would be furious if that happened to me so I feel for this couple.
