Four suitcases strapped to the top of a car speeding along the Little Arrowhead Expressway came loose and flew off into the night this past Saturday. One landed broadside on the shoulder of the road and split open, flinging free all manner of items, from shoes to books to snacks to razors to toothbrushes to neckwear to undergarments to flashlights to ice trays to magazines to a vintage pocket-watch. The other three suitcases remained in the air, where they hovered for a while and then ascended into the sky, never to be seen again.
