a murdoch story

As Brook, Mom, Florrie & I were driving around Cheraw last Thursday, an old Murdoch story surfaced. Murdoch used to have property in Myrtle Beach, SC, in an area called Cherry Grove. Once, while returning to his little beach cottage he found a arsenal of small arms under his bed. There were machine guns, hand guns, carbines, etc. Someone had apparently broken into his home and used his bed as a weapon's stash. Murdoch got on the phone and called the police immediately. When the officers arrived, they looked under the bed and discovered that the weapons were plastic - of the toy gun variety. Everyone got a laugh out of it and it still draws a chuckle thinking back on it. I remember as as kid, hearing that story told, and asked Murdoch why he didn't think to save that weapons stash for his nephew.
