I have another story that I heard from a guy who was staying at the same air BNB as me. (It had multiple rooms that they rented out).
We were chatting in the kitchen and I told him I love to hear interesting people-stories. Especially bizarre ones.
Here is the story he told me.
His brother’s gf (age in the early 20s) had been hired by her professor to pet sit an old dog while the professor and her husband were in Europe for a week or two.
This young lass had been told the medium/large sized dog was old but otherwise seemed healthy.
A few days into this pet sitting gig, the dog unexpectedly died of unknown causes. But was old. So probably health problem.
She contacted the owners. She wasn’t sure what to do with their beloved pet dog’s body. Too big to fit in the freezer.
The owners asked her to have the dog cremated.
This young lass, being in the city and young did not have a car of her own. So she had to consider the best way to transport the dog and decided on putting the dog in a large rolling suitcase.
So she does this. And uses public transportation to get to the vet clinic that will have the dog cremated.
She heads out to her destination via public bus.
She gets off at her stop. Checks her phone to look at a map. Get her bearrings and such as she’s unfamiliar with where she is going.
As she is distracted, a thief sees an opportunity to rob this young lady of her medium/large suitcase.
Surely there must be something of value in such a large heavy suitcase.
She is unable to catch the person who stole it as she didn’t notice it had been lifted right away.
She then had to contact the owners again and inform them that someone stole their dogs corpse.
Then the guy telling me this story and I contemplated the fate of the suitcase, and the reaction of the theif after they hauled this suitcase a decent distance. Maybe all the way to their own place, only to unzip it and discover a dead dog.
Not possible. Unless same guy who told it to me posted it.
Unlikely.
I was told this story in late 2018 ish. Maybe 2019.
Guy was like 23 or 24. Pretty young. In town doing an apprenticeship. We were both there for a few weeks and I’d chat him up in the kitchen in the evenings and we’d share stories.
He had other stories but that was the most interesting.
I did tell this story to a comedian friend of mine (2020ish) who did use it in a amateur local standup routine. But tbh he’s not that good and I don’t think he posted a video of it or anything. I know he changed some of the details to make it more dramatic. But can’t recall what.
Well it’s possible its something that happens occasionally but also possible the guy just made it up.
He seemed sincere. Clarified it was his brother’s ex gf. But they were dating at the time.
I applaud him for getting away with it for so long.
I thought you were implying I made up the story. I did not.
I definitely heard it from this guy at an air BNB.
Now I’m wondering if his other story was legit or he’s just good at selling a story.
The other good one was he went to vegas with buddies. Bachelor trip. They got henna tattoos out in some open area market. Tiger or something. Said it looked really good. But they Didn’t ask for the price before getting it. And then after it was done the woman wanted $1000. They refused. She called the police. They had to pay it on his credit card. And his gf back home is convinced he bought a prostitute or stripper for the charge on his card. Wouldn’t believe it was for a temporary tattoo.

I saw this story as a greentext on 4chan over a decade ago.
