I think have heard that in almost every small town I've been in. It has become a legend by now. Some variations I heard with goats or chickens, sometimes the missing number changes.

    That's the big reason I decided it was probably apocryphal. Though I do allow for the possibility that it's actually happened in a bunch of places, copycat-style. Kind of like how a lot of high schools have a bowl discreetly hidden on stage next to the superintendent during commencement so that they can deposit marbles that graduating seniors hand to them.
