Hinky?

I have mentioned before the term law enforcement uses when a story just doesn't quite have the ring of truth to it -- hinky.

And that's what I think of this story. See what you think.

A 15-year-old girl called the police one night and said six robbers broke into her house at 11:50 p.m. They hit and kicked her, tased her, and beat her with a pistol and belt. They left in two cars, taking two televisions -- one of them a 65 inch set.

After such a vicious beating, she did not require an ambulance ride to the hospital. Depending on what kind of car it was, do you suppose they found it difficult to inconspicuously get that big TV into the back seat? It's more than 5 feet across and a yard high.

Don't know -- sounds hinky to me!
