My wife’s brother, who lives in Germany, read in some newspaper from one of those eastern European countries that this story was confirmed by a Russian tree trimmer who overheard the house owner on a phone call to his cousin’s neighbor in Latvia who swears she knows someone who was in touch with a friend in California who witnessed the whole thing. It must be true.

Well, that corks it then! Thanks ever so much!
I can’t help but wonder if this has made the SNOPES “Urban Myth” status yet?
