Ripley's Believe It or Not! REUNITED! Siblings Cindy Murray and Robert Williamson, separated as young children, were reunited after 30 years in 2013 after learning that they both served in the U.S. Navy in California.

Getting all four front wheels to steer correctly on sharp turns would also have been a nightmare.
