Anyone who lives around us in Provo, just south of campus, may have seen this great looking car parked on 5th north. The funniest part about it is if you look inside the windows it is full of balls, you know, like the ones in the ball pit at Chuck E Cheese or McDonald's Playplace. When I first saw this I thought it was funny, and then thought it might be a little disturbing too. Someone could drive this car around and easily lure innocent children to come play in the ball pit, only to be taken away. Maybe it is just owned by a young family whose kids are really hard to take places and they needed some extra persuasion to get them into the car. There could be a lot of explanations for filling 80% of your car with colorful plastic balls, what do you think?

Our neighbor's car

Personally I think it's probably just a very strange single male trying to get laughs from unsuspecting single females. There are some very strange single adults in this valley. Or maybe he has a phobia of clean cars? Who knows but that is a little weird.
The real question is why not? Who wouldn't love a portable playpace?
No matter what the reason, thats just weird. But Kaden would absolutely love it.
I vote creepy.
I know that kid. He was my friend Dan's room mate a few years ago.
I'm pretty sure it's just a fun/zany thing, not a pedophilia thing.
Sam, thank you for clearing up this obvious misunderstanding. So since you know them does this mean you can arrange a time for us to go play in the balls?
Sam's only "pretty sure". That still leaves room for doubt. I like that the pedophile-bait-mobile is a hearse. A giant red play-filled hearse. Very fitting.
I'm glad you found my blog! And I'm glad you've cleared up this mystery for me. I have been wondering about that car myself.
I still think it's a kidnapping car. At least the kids will be entertained during the kidnapping.
That car is still there? I remember that from when I lived in Provo. Wow. I heard, this is all hear say, that the owner used to rent the car to freshman for Homecoming. Seriously, how cool would it be to show up to a dance in a hearse with play pen plastic balls.
It's a freshman thing.
