... as the poorly covered attempt at stealing a cow by claiming it was a coyote
A few years back I went to visit my grandmother.
She'd had problems with some of her cows disappearing, and was pretty sure the next rancher over (her cousin) was guilty.
The phone call while I was there cinched it tho:
He called her to ask for a bill of sale for the cows she "sold" him, because the auction house wouldn't take cows with a brand other than his without a bill of sale.
Totally in character for her, getting more and more angry as the call went on, she finally said, "when you pay me for those cows, I'll give you a bill of sale" and hung up on him.
