About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in Bickley Ford’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, sitting next to an empty soda machine. Curious but cautious, he took a photo and posted it online. Soon enough, other employees started noticing strange things happening around the lot—an extra umbrella here, a forgotten lunchbox there. It turned out that someone was leaving little gifts for everyone anonymously. A neighborhood kid had seen the picture online and thought it would be fun to brighten up people’s day. The mystery box became a friendly tradition until one rainy afternoon when a delivery driver found a brand-new umbrella with his name on it.

2. One day, while stocking shelves at Bickley Ford, a young employee found an old, dusty box hidden among the tires. Curious, she opened it and discovered a stack of handwritten notes, each one addressed to ‘Dear Friend’. As she read on, she learned that these notes were written by the original owner, who had once worked there decades ago. Turned out he’d been leaving them for his successor—each note containing advice like 'Always keep the coffee pot full' or 'Never trust the mechanic with the mustache.' By the end, everyone in the garage was reading along, laughing at the quirky wisdom left behind by some anonymous former colleague.

3. At closing time one night, the manager of Bickley Ford heard a voice from the empty showroom: ‘Fill me up with gas, mate.’ He looked around but saw no one. The next morning, the gas gauge on his truck read nearly empty. The manager shrugged it off until a few days later when a delivery driver mentioned that his truck had mysteriously lost fuel too. Then one evening, as they were leaving together, they both heard the same voice again—this time asking for directions to the nearest pub. Turned out it was just an old ghostly prankster who loved cars and beer alike.

4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Bickley Ford's loading dock. Something unusual caught his eye—a tiny, glowing light flickering inside one of the showroom windows. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man fiddling with the dashboard, muttering to himself. Turns out, it was just an elderly neighbor testing out the new car stereo. The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and drove off—swearing never again to wake up so early for deliveries.
