About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an old corner of Big Lot Auto Sales, behind the used tires and rusty bumpers, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the dusty shelves, nestled in a forgotten corner, sat a small wooden box wrapped in faded brown paper. Curious, he unwrapped it to find inside a crumpled note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Free donuts for anyone who buys a car today!’ Turned out, it was left there by a friendly delivery driver who hoped to sweeten up business. From then on, every now and then, someone would leave little surprises—maybe a bag of cookies or a bottle of water—for the next customer.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Big Lot Auto Sales and noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound seemed to be coming from inside one of the storage units. Curious but cautious, he approached only to find nothing out of place. Yet every day after that, the same haunting noise would appear around sunset. Finally, someone suggested inviting a neighbor over for a barbecue while keeping an eye on the unit. As they grilled sausages, the hum grew louder until it turned into a deep, booming voice saying, ‘Hey, you forgot my favorite mustard!’ Turned out, it was just the owner’s pet hippo, lost in his own little world.

3. At night, when the lot was empty, a neighbor passing by asked curiously, ‘Why does that headlight always seem to follow me home?’ It turned out to be just an old delivery driver, checking his GPS. The headlight followed him everywhere because he kept recalculating his route! Everyone had a good laugh and now, whenever someone asks about it, they say, ‘Just another day at Big Lot Auto Sales.’

4. At dusk, when the lot was quiet, a little girl pointed excitedly at something in the shadows. "Daddy, what’s that glowing car doing there?" Her dad squinted into the twilight and shook his head with a smile. ‘Honey,’ he said gently, ‘that’s just an old car trying to sell itself.’ They both laughed as they walked away, leaving behind the mysterious glow of Big Lot Auto Sales.
