Astonisher No.69:  The posse that killed Bonnie and Clyde didn't get the promised bounty but were told to help themselves to the deceased's property.  The car (a Ford V8) was stolen and owner Ruth Warren claimed it back.  She drove it from to Arcadia Kansas to Shreveport Louisiana still with the blood and human tissue on the interior.  It now lives at the Primm Valley Resort along with Clyde's final shirt.
