Corrected entry: When the Griswolds get lost in the back streets of Missouri, they ask for directions from a local while his gang quietly steals their hubcaps. Firstly, why didn't they just take their luggage which would have been worth more. Secondly, why do they try and hide what they are doing?. Its not like the Griswolds could do anything about it anyway. Yes I know it only a comedy...but come on.

Corrected entry: When the Griswolds are only ten hours away from Wally World, Ellen, Audrey and Rusty all vote that the Holiday has been a disaster and they should turn around and go home. But since they have virtually no money, how would they pay for gas and accommodation on the return trip?
Correction: Ellen later says something like,"We can wire my parents for the money and forget this vacation ever happened."

Correction: They could have driven away if needed. It would have been dangerous but it was still doable. The gang steals the hubcaps because they don't know what's in the luggage so the hubcaps may be worth more. Also the luggage was tried down so the hubcaps could be removed quicker and easier than the luggage.
