6. The Walking Dead - How Did They Steal The Boat?

Telltale

Telltale put forth a champion steed when they put out the first season of their Walking Dead games. Sure, they beat that poor horse until it was dead, and then beat it all the way into bankruptcy.

But for a time, the Walking Dead episodes they were putting out were masterpieces that could do no wrong. Even when we learned our choices...really didn't matter as much as the game tried to make us think they did.

But there's a glaring issue in the first season - in Episode 4 the group finally finds a much sought-after boat, then meets up with and allies themselves to a group comprised of old folks, a few sick ones, and former cancer patients.

Then, in episode 5, those folks steal the boat from under the group's nose.

So... how did these folks get the boat out of the garage it was parked in? An earlier plot point is that there are no working vehicles in the whole city. Even if you had one, the roads are packed full of broken-down vehicles, so you couldn't drive out anyway.

In theory they'd have to drag it, but how did the aforementioned group of people carry a full-size speedboat through a zombie-infested city?
