I was visiting my family in a fancy hotel, and the CEO decided to trap me there as a ghost so he could marry me. I beat a bunch of people up and finally had to solve some parkour puzzles to escape. Then I hitchhiked with a lady in a red car because I didn't have cab fare.
She did not want me in her car. I just threatened to beat her up too. 🤦

"GETS 2 YEARS IN 'PEN'," Toronto Star. February 3, 1943. Page 2.
---
"A" Police Court, City Hall, Magistrate Browne.
"You had a chance to behave yourself in the army, and you did not. You have a bad record," commented Magistrate Browne, in "A" court, to Herbert Baird, a soldier, after he pleaded guilty to three charges of theft of motor cars.
"You will go to Kingston penitentiary for two years," ruled the court. Baird's record showed that he was convicted on several charges of housebreaking and other crimes. He was released from the penitentiary last August.
Detective A. Copewell stated Baird was arrested Jan. 26 by Constable Shuttleworth, in North Toronto, shortly after he had stolen a car from a Yonge St. garage. "I questioned him and he said that he had stolen a car at Hamilton earlier that day and drove to the vicinity of London," said witness. "He stole another car in London and drove to Toronto and abandoned it. He told me he was trying to get back to Camp Borden."
Baird had nothing to say in court.

"That was all he ever talked and wrote about. It was all about dying. That was all he dreamt of. He was also into self mutilation. The first time I met him, I got pissed off. He was like Marvin in "Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" - everything sucked. But it wasn't just an attitude, he really had problems." - Manheim, "Once upon a time in Norway" documentary 🦇
(Slide two is some of Marvin's quotes and slide three is the description of Marvin from HGTTG wiki)

"Boy Bandit Uses Toy Gun," Border Cities Star. August 26 1933. Page 3.

15-Year-Old Chatham Lad Robs Londoner On Highway Near Maidstone
----
Taken in Home City After Wild Ride in Car He Had Stolen
---
Arrested after a thrilling chase from Maidstone to Chatham, a Chatham juvenile, 15 years old, is alleged by police to have admitted poking a toy revolver into the ribs of a London motorist who had given him a ride, and at the point of the cap pistol to have turned the owner out of the car and driven off with it at a dizzy rate of speed.
IS REMANDED
The boy was taken to Sandwich this morning, and remanded in custody until Monday on a charge of robbery armed. He was not asked to elect trial or enter a plea.
The holdup occurred on No. 3 Highway near Maidstone. The arrest was made near the Chatham city limits at the corner of Merritt avenue and Richmond streets by Constables Earl Glover and William Donaldson of the Chatham police, yesterday afternoon Chasing the car practically all the way from Maidstone to Chatham at a rate of from 60 to 65 miles an hour was John O'Neil, Woodslee garage proprietor, who had given chase at the request of traffic officers.
According to Provincial Constable Frank Kelly, of Tilbury, who was in the hunt for the stolen car, and who later went to Chatham to interview the arrested boy, the train of events started at Blenheim when the motor 1st, Capt. Charles Wray, of the London fire department, driving toward Windsor on No. 3 Highway, was asked for a ride by the boy.
ORDERED TO STOP
All went well until the motorist and his hitch hiking passenger approached Maidstone. Suddenly the youth is alleged to have pulled the gun. For a time, police say, the driver was instructed by the young bandit to drive on, but in a few minutes the order was given to stop and get out of the car. The youth then departed, leaving the motorist to walk to Maidstone, where police were notified. Before he went, the bay bandit took $4 from Capt. Wray.
The highway police at Maidstone telephoned police throughout the district, and themselves immediately took up the chase. Traffic Officer Gene Raymer told the Woodslee garage proprietor, and he rushed into the hunt.
Notification to be on the look-out was passed on to Chatham police by Provincial Constable Kelly from Tilbury. He was able to tell them the make and license of the car, and that the youth was believed to be armed. Constables Glover and Donaldson hurried to the point where No. 2 Highway enters the city to take up positions awaiting the escaping youth.
It didn't take long for him to ap pear, and not so far behind came Mr.O'Neil.
60 TO 65 MILES AN HOUR
"O'Neil told me that he had to travel between 60 and 65 miles an hour to keep the boy in sight," said Constable Kelly.
From Maidstone the youth had driven to Tilbury, and from Tilbury, closely pursued by O'Neil, he had swung south through Stevenson. Thence he took the detour through Merlin and turned north from Merlin to Prairie Siding. He followed the River Road from Prairie Siding through Raleigh township toward Chatham, then cut over to No. 2 Highway to enter the city.
Chatham police, on searching the lad, found a rather ferocious looking hunting knife, but no gun. At that time it was not known that the gun supposed to have been used was not real. Later the boy is said to have admitted having the gun, but declared that it was only a toy. He stated that after the holdup he threw it away, according to police.
According to Chief Findlay Low, he is well known to Chatham police, and was wanted for the theft of $75 from his own father.
