The Groupon Guide to: Cowboy Crime
The Wild West was a predominantly lawless wasteland in which towns employed one law-enforcement officer at a time—a candidate usually selected by foisting a tarnished badge onto the most recent disoriented, dust-covered stranger to wander into town. What were the most common of cowboy crimes?
Cattle Rustlin': This crime consisted of creeping up beneath sleeping cattle and rustling through crunchy autumn leaves in order to create a spooky Halloween sound. This caused the terrified cattle to stampede, destroying a municipal flower bed and revealing the easily plucked municipal diamonds underneath.
Card Cheatin': A friendly game of cards was the most popular pastime of cowfolk—right above hopping on alternating feet while shooting guns into the air and unbearably beautiful whistling. The most common method of cheating at cards was to distract opponents by pointing to a false eclipse and using a wet finger dragged through coal dust to scrawl tiny crowns on your deuces.
Horse Thievin': This most unforgivable of crimes consisted of stealing a horse's valued possessions, as horses have so very, very little. If found guilty, a horse thiever had to eat the entire bounty of their theft, be it a bail of hay, several iron shoes, or a cube of ill-gotten sugar. They also had to make eye contact with the horse at all times, for this too is Horse Law.
