My dad tells a story from 1962 in Trinidad. They had a Chevy with a carb that wasn't working right. So they go to an auto parts place and ask for a new carb.

"Don't have one right now, but we'll have one after lunch".

I'm sure you know where this is heading. They go for lunch and then come back. Car won't start. Carb has been stolen. They had to buy back their own carb.
