Lost and found ad a Chitty Chitty Bust Bust
If you read a recent lost and found ad in the Press-Citizen that seemed a little...unbelieveable...it was.
In Friday's edition of the paper, a classified ad stated that the original car used in the 1968 film “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” was found near the Coralville Reservoir. The ad certainly generated interest, but alas, it was a hoax. http://www.presscitizen.com/apps/pbc.../80121008/1079

News Leader bites on Dolly Parton hoax
OK, so Dolly Parton didn’t really leave a pair of rhinestone studded boots in Staunton. Ditto for other personal belongings and a copy of her album “Coat of Many Colors.”
But that didn’t deter callers from contacting the man who placed the classified ad in The News Leader that touted finding Parton’s stuff inside an abandoned building in Staunton. http://www.newsleader.com/apps/pbcs....19/1002/NEWS01
