So I'm on the way back from last nights fire meet in Bath, and I see this guy, thumb out, by the side of the road. I'm on a high, of course, and feeling indestructable so I pick him up.
He LOOKED fine from the road, but once in the car acted like, really paranoid, kept looking out the back window and hid his face when a car overtook.
So we're talking about how hot it was today and after a break in the conversation I notice he has a duffel bag by his feet, so I say "so what's in the bag?"
He gruffly (I think he was Scottish) replies "none of yer f***ing business"
Being me, I thought he was joking, so I'm like "really though, what's in the bag?"
Again, "none of yer f***ing business, alright?"
So I sort of slow down the car and say, "look mate, I'm giving you a lift, the least you can do is be honest, what's in the f***ing bag?"
"NONE OF YER F***ING BUSINESS"
So I'm like "fine..." and I pull over and tell him to get out. He doesn't argue, just swears under his breath, and I burn off before he can barely shut the door, and I see him in the rear view mirror running after me and waving his fists.
I'm laughing hysterically at this point and can't believe what has just happened. It was only when I got home that I noticed the duffel bag, sitting in front of the passenger seat!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

None of your f***ing business...
This could get old very soon.
So the rest of this thread shall be devoted to guessing what is in the bag.
I think it was a human head.

magnus mate..
do you REALLY think there is a chance you will EVER see this bloke again?
and do you REALLY think he wont smack you one for driving off with his bag?
you might as well open it. I know i would have..
unless it s bomb..
cos tthat would be bad for you.
buy an xray machine. then you can see if it isnt a bomb. and also whats in teh bag...but as you havent opened the bag, you wont be invading his privacy and so you wont feel guilty!
everyone is happy then!
except the hitch hiker, but it serves him right for being such a potty mouth.

yeah, look in the ungrateful hitcher's bag.
he subconsciously wanted you to look in it anyway, that was why he got you (and, by extension, us) curious.
otherwise he could have just lied and said
"its a load of socks" or "its a collection of seashells" or something.
Go look in the bag. GO! GO LOOK! i must know the mystery of the duffel.
i reckon its a load of bloodstained money and a container of mysterious different coloured pills.
or possibly just his wallet and a tube of smarties.

I don't really care what is in the bag.
I do care about Magnus, though. so, assuming that this situation is real, and not fictional (not everything on the internet is the truth), there is only really one course of action.
Magnus, DON'T look in the bag. Take it directly to the nearest police station, explain the whole situation, also saying you are concerned about repercussions should this guy find you.
What might be unpleasant but possible to consider is that there is a bomb, or some class A illegal substances or something else that could get you locked up for possessing.
and, if you tell them this storey AFTER they arrest you, I wouldn't expect them to believe it, or for it to be any sort of defense at all.
Hey, I don't even believe it myself...

Reminds me of this other time my mate and I were walking home, and it started to rain. We had about 4 miles to go, so I started walking backwards up the hill with my thumb out.
Shortly, an elderly couple pulled up, and we jumped in the back of the car, thanking them profusely. They seemed a little taken aback by us, my friend was wearing black leathers, chains, and had his eyebrow and nose pierced. I was worried they were a little intimidated.
They asked us where we wanted to go and we said that anywhere in the town centre would be fine, saying we hoped it wasn't out of their way - it was on the main road and all that.
So we chatted about the weather and whatnot until we got into town, at which point I pointed out somewhere that would be good to drop us and thanked them again.
As I got out I asked them where they were from, and they said well actually, they'd picked us up just outside their house!

Another why not to pick them up story,
Driving to "b" from "a", so two guys hitching, friendly looking chaps, picked 'em up, in an effort to be freindly dropped them off alittle out of my way, not much though. Coninued to "b", got there and I had missed the last boat to the island we were going. By minutes!!! Drove back to "a" 500k in total.
Still wanna know whats in the bag. And some counter jesus advice. Maybe there is some kinda ID of the guy in the bag. You could do the nice thing and send it back to him and find out whats in the bag.
