    from the article:
    "At one point, there were nearly 500 vehicles spread throughout the forests near Chatillon, but that number dwindled over the years due to theft and environmental cleanups".

    There was a competition to cross the English Channel doing only the breaststroke, and the three women who entered the race were named Emily, Maggie and Rose.

    After approximately 14 hours, Emily staggered up on the shore and was declared the fastest. About 40 minutes later, Maggie crawled up on the shore and was declared the second place finisher.

    Nearly 4 hours after that, Rose finally came ashore and promptly collapsed in front of the worried onlookers.

    When the reporters asked why it took her so long to complete the race, she replied, 'I don't want to sound like I'm a sore loser, but I think those two other girls were using their arms.'

    Glad I had enough time to read this thread. Otherwise I would have missed a great joke. Rose has to be a blond and built like a Barbie doll.

    The way I read the article it sounds like a thief finally cleaned up the forest. This proves that for many years the scrappers respected the personal property of others. Just my take.
