The world's Hard Luck record was claimed by Victor Cobb, a Memphis, Tennessee chemist, on January 25, 1941, reported the Press Association. Within six months a taxicab had demolished his shop front, bandits held him up twice, thieves broke in once, a fireengine overturned against the entrance, a van rammed into the side of the building and "a motorist hit a traffic post and pillar-box, which hutled against the store front and ripped part of it away."
