Pizza delivery guys get attacked by a dude with a bow and arrow. 

True story from when I was a kid, my folks' house was in need of new roofing, beyond the fact our shingles were looking like crap, and the window-licking painters had spilled a gallon of paint on the roof that summer, the roof had developed a leak (it's an old house).  What had happened is what happens in PA during winter, lots of freeze/thaw cycles, and the freezing and thawing damaged the roof, so we had leaking in the office, started as a small damp spot, by February it was real mess, had to make do with tarps inside and out and buckets till spring. 

So anyway, spring comes finally, and we hire a contractor to put on new roofing and fix the water damage caused by that winter.  Does the work well at a fair price, roof looks great, all the water-damaged parts of the roof and room are repaired...all is well with the world.  Then about a month later, we're coming home from school...and there's a fucking arrow sticking out of our roof!  Please note, this is in the city, a small city, but a city nonetheless.  Folks called the contractor and asked if they'd pull this arrow out of our roof and repair it as needed, they sent a guy over and did it gratis, which was cool. 

No idea where the arrow came from, somebody loosed it into the air based on the angle it was in the roof, but definitely strange to see that...I'd expect that kind of thing at my grandparents' or aunt's place, not in town though.
