An amusing police car anecdote
This morning on my way to campus, I pulled up to a stop light and noticed that there was a police car in front of me. The gas cap was WIDE OPEN, sticking out about 6 inches. I pulled along the driver's side and pointed at the gas cap. The cop, who was a rather attractive 30-something blonde woman, rolled down the window quizzically. I said, "Ma'am, your gas cap is open. Want me to close it?" She got this confused blank look on her face for a couple seconds, then said... "Uh, oops, ok sure!"
I closed the gas cap and rode off. In my own way, I'm kind of a superhero

That was kind of you. I know a motorcycle cop that lost his shotgun off the back of his bike. It wasn't his fault and thankfully another citizen saw it and turned it in. The locking mechanism was faulty and had been recalled by the manufacturer.

Muhahhahaha...
This just made my night. Yes it has a suggested second meaning in a way. Very good of you to tell the cop that. Why do I keep thinking of Super Troopers here?
If you've not seen the movie go and rent it. LOL. Hey if you see her again mention the gas cap incident and offer to buy her a cup of coffee and see if you can start talking there.

I think I am a little too young for that cop, and I already have a girlfriend (who's making me cauliflower soup right now

How does one not notice a shotgun falling off a bike? 
I mean I've dropped some old beatup guns before for the hell of it (unloaded and basically barrels used up and not worth much anyways. Cheapies) and it made a lot of sound on the ground that I can recall. I can only assume the shotgun would have rattled and rolled around a bit if it fell off a motorcycle. Thankfully no one did anything stupid with it like shoot someone for not having matches on them cause they don't smoke.
