We present evidence that the properties of the high-velocity cloud catalogued as #187 by Wakker & van Woerden (1991) (HVC287+22+240) can be explained if it is part of a leading arm counterpart of the Magellanic Stream, and we use this to argue that the HVC originated in the Magellanic Clouds after a tidal interaction.
