Not quite an urban myth...Wile E. Coyote mailed a bomb to the Road Runner, who returned it for insufficient postage...guess who got blown up? So at least in ToonTown, this really did happen :-) In a similar vein, I believe the NYC terrorist bombers were caught in part because they tried to get back the security deposit on their rental van...I suppose the dead giveaway was when they called the car rental rep "Great Satan" when they couldn't get their money back :-)
