One late afternoon in an alley behind our shop, a friend of ours tried to buy a car off a local bar owner. The deal went sour and a discussion ensued. Someone threatened to throw a brick, but luckily it didn’t come to that. Lesson learned; Don’t forget your brick. Always carry cash. Maybe don’t do back-alley deals. But look like you make back-alley deals.
