The truck was parked in the same place, day after day. No one’s using it. It’s a sign I should take it, Jean-Michel thought.
Late Friday afternoon, he returned to the parking lot. In minutes, he broke in, hooked up a portable battery charger and hotwired the truck. Maybe there’s something valuable in the back, he thought, ever hopeful.
As Jean-Michel drove around a sharp curve, the truck’s cargo door swung open. In the police cruiser just behind, two officers saw something fall out: human, bloody, and wrapped in industrial cellophane. It’s a sign, they said, turning on the siren.

It's a long story ... 
Serves him right!
Absolutely!
It’s a sign it’s not his day, I think. Nice one.
Dear Tresha,
Guess Jean-Michel should’ve looked a little closer before he hot-wired. I’d say he’s in a mell of a hess. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I hate when that happens!
Too funny! And you are so right!
Well… one would have to wonder about the cops if they did not take the body falling out the back of the truck as a sign! Great story!
Tresha, It’s about time those cops investigated that truck. Looks like it took a body falling out to get them moving. Jean-Michel is in trouble for sure. Well written. 🙂 —Susan
