> [@BigT](#): > > Which happens to take the exact same key? I was in Home Depot parking lot and clicked for my car door to open, and a car beside it also beeped and the trunk lid invitingly opened. No one else near, so I did it again. That trunk was definitely keyed to the same signal as my pick up 2 cars down. I left no message for the other people, just left their trunk open so they’d have a mystery too. ---

It was a desperate crossdresser who _had_ to give in to the urge but his wife and kids were underfoot at home and he’d spent all his spare cash on the heels (were they Louboutins?) and he couldn’t afford a motel room, so he took to the woods for one glorious afternoon of frilly-thrilly release. If he’d brought the clothes back with him the wife would’ve suspected a mistress so he left it all behind. ---

> [@Diceman](#): > > Was this location near a sudden dropoff, or some other feature that might be useful for disposing of a body? :eek: Ha ha, nope just a random spot in the woods. I was hiking off trail to an unnamed pond. This was about 15 years ago and it still haunts me to this day. . ---

> [@Princhester](#): > > What, no love interest? Fool! If you explicitly seek out a love interest, then she’ll inevitably turn out to have been a spy in the employ of the villain the whole time. It’s at best a 50-50 shot as to whether your love will redeem her before the end. It’s far safer to have unresolved sexual tension with a female acquaintance throughout the adventure. Make sure it doesn’t resolve, or else the villain will manage to kidnap her (and she may turn out to be a spy anyway). Oh, and if you’re going into this with a spouse already, well … I’m very sorry for your impending loss. ☹ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/strange-thing-has-appeared-out-of-nowhere/709612.md?page=2)
