    It's the Lone Rangers left it there because he had just found a box of 1000 razors the same ones his Wife keeps selling on ebay.

    Exactly and the fact that a canceled check is included in your purchase PROVES the razor belonged to him. By the way, it is an agent selling the razors "on the wife's behalf."

    Do you know that Tonto means foolish in Spanish? Kemiosabe or however you want to spell it translates to, one who knows.
