The magnet was definitely not new, and it was broken near the top. But it still functioned (obviously) and proudly declared its message, "God Bless America". I have to admit that it is one of the more attractive ribbon-style magnets I've seen. I've see a couple of crappy ones where the artist didn't understand perspective or exactly what a folded ribbon looks like.
Anyway, there are only two ways it could have gotten there: a) it fell off of somebody else's vehicle and a passerby put it on my car thinking it was mine, or b) someone took it off of their car and put it on mine on purpose (kind of like a "random act of patriotism"). The latter is definitely my favorite, so that's what I'm going with.
I left the magnet on the car for a couple of weeks, but then I decided it was time to move it along. Someone else deserves a parking lot freak out! So one night after work, I stuck it on someone else's car and took the picture below:
Hopefully the driver will enjoy spreading the message of patriotism for a few weeks before they "pay it forward" and move it along. Or it will end up in the trash. Either way, God Bless America!
Humorous note: Both Angela and I independently came up with the phrase "Random Acts of Patriotism". Talk about a perfect match!
