Ignoring the sign “Parking for Handicapped Persons Only”, they leave car and enter a radio and TV shop. After looking around, they buy a portable AM-FM radio. Then they buy some sandwiches from a street vendor and walk to a nearby park. While eating, they discover that the radio does not work. In their hurry to return it, they leave their trash on the park bench. When Matt and Luther get back to the shopping center, they notice a large dent in one side of their car.
