Hehe... this reminds me of an interesting story myself.
I repair laser printers for my job. I do a lot of on site service at various office buildings, as well as at some state buildings, among other things.

Well, one day, on the way to work, I found a Zenith B&W console, a 23", looked to be early 60's. A short, wide console, tube type. I loaded it into the back seat of my Camry.

Later that day, a service call came in, so I went out to the Empire Plaza - a large complex with many state offices and buiness offices. This plaza has an underground parking garage for visitors, and I routinely park there when I go on calls. There's a guard shack as you enter, and you have to show your driver's license - there's also a police car there at all times. I think they also sneak a peek at your registration stickers too. So, I drive into this garage, and hand the guy my license - and of course he sees that the entire back seat of my car is filled by a 50 year old console TV. I got several questions about it, and some suspicious looks too... I think they wanted to see inside my trunk as well. (Full of tools and printer parts, suprise, suprise.) Anyway, they let me in. Looking back on it, it's kinda funny - but not at the time!
