Sheriff Derek likes being a small-town cop. His reasons? For one, he loves the fact that nothing bad ever happens. In his line of work, a boring day in the office means more time for crosswords.

Owner of the local second hand car business, “Local Second Hand Cars”, has had a rollercoaster past few weeks. Hot off the heels of a recent mistaken win fall, owner Larry thought he had somehow gained an extra car in his lot. “I was flabbergasted. Usually I have to buy the cars before I sell them, but this one had just appeared!” Larry boasted to reporters at the time.
