One can only guess there's probably more to this than meets the eye. But even the story sheriff's deputies are releasing is a little...well, odd. It starts early Sunday morning, about 4:30am, when a man who lives on Honeysuckle Drive says someone else came up to his door and asked if he wanted to buy some tools.

The gentleman told his visitor, no thanks, he wasn't interested. "Well," the visitor asks, "could you give me a ride somewhere then?" No can-do, because the man doesn't have a driver's license. With that, he turned around and walked back in the house -- only to hear someone starting the car outside, which belongs to his mother. It's unclear if she was there at the time, or just how the car got from her address in Roaring River to his north of North Wilkesboro -- it's about eight and a half miles as the crow flies.

The young man who wanted to sell the tools had a young woman with him, too, according to the man. The man does know the name of the person who was standing on his porch at 4:30 on a Sunday morning and allegedly took off with his mom's car -- but deputies aren't releasing the 19 year-old's name. He lives not far down the road. Oh, and the tools -- four boxes full of them were left on the front porch, along with a box decorated with flowers that, according to deputies, contained "assorted toiletry items."
