    According to Wikipedia:

    Horseshoes have long been considered lucky. They were originally made of iron, a material that was believed to ward off evil spirits, and traditionally were held in place with seven nails, seven being the luckiest number. The superstition acquired a further Christian twist due to a legend surrounding the tenth-century saint Dunstan, who worked as a blacksmith before becoming Archbishop of Canterbury. The legend recounts that, one day, the Devil walked into Dunstan’s shop and asked him to shoe his horse. Dunstan pretended not to recognize him, and agreed to the request; but rather than nailing the shoe to the horse’s hoof, he nailed it to the Devil’s own foot, causing him great pain. Dunstan eventually agreed to remove the shoe, but only after extracting a promise that the Devil would never enter a household with a horseshoe nailed to the door.

    Jason’s parents will still have to pay for it!

    Maybe the owners will be so overjoyed at finding what some consider a good luck charm, that they won’t mind the broken window.

    But really, I think it would have to be an actual horses shoe, not one of them massive things.

    I have a neighbor with 3 archery targets set up in his front yard so that they’re shooting towards the street, about 50 feet from it. We live in a rural area but the street does have trafffic

    This reminds me of both my own memory of a Car Window “Accident” and Sheldon’s “Bird Death Ray” on “The Big Bang Theory”.

    When I was a kid, my friend and I were playing in his front yard on a very hot Summer day when a thrown pebble hit the rear window of his dad’s car, crystallizing it instantly…

    I really doubt Jason could throw a horseshoe that far.

    Maybe those two going outdoors isn’t always good.

    This is why kids’ horseshoe sets are made of rubber nowadays

    Why are horseshoes considered lucky? Well in instance like this, they give you the ability to run like a wild mustang in the opposite direction.

    I would have thought Jason was too weak to overthrow a horseshoe.

    Jason can’t even throw a football a foot, you can’t convince me he could toss a horseshoe far enough to smash a window even if he was inside the car.
