    Dynacraft Wheels donates thousands of scooters, dune buggies and other toys to Santa Clara County (a.k.a. Silicon Valley) government office for distribution to needy children. County executive tells employees to go ahead and grab whatever they want off the back off the truck. When pressed by the newspaper, the county executive says the employees were supposed to donate the toys to a church or some other place, but he has no way of tracking whether they did because "it's a trust thing."

    Other county executive won't furnish the list of who took what because "I don't want people to think they did something wrong."

    Smart people don't pay taxes and take stuff meant for charities. The rest are just stupid.

    $200 cartoon-character electric scooters and dune buggies might not really be the most beneficial gifts for underprivileged kids anyway.
