Our little white car is usually parked between these two vehicles but today we parked it farther down our driveway near the garage.
My neighbor has a lot of cars. Usually at least 4 at any given time. Typically there is a car or truck parked in front of the red pickup truck, just off the street.
These are the police that showed up in front our our house last night.
...because this white car was driving too fast and couldn't maneuver fast enough and PLOWED into my neighbors car (the Ford Focus now on its side).
Yeah. This car WAS parked in front of the red pickup truck.
This is how far the car had to be hit over to not only move 20 or so feet from where it was parked, but to also get pushed up and over our neighbors' wall/fence.
If you are interested in more details about this story:
Monico was in our backyard prepping the BBQ grill. I was in the house prepping stuff in the kitchen and Monica was in the living room watching TV.
Monica saw the white car through the window speeding. Monico heard the screech and looked up the driveway just in time to see the white car plow into the Ford Focus. (We ALL heard the boom of the cars hitting.) I looked out the front window but couldn't see the accident.
Monico came running in "did you see that?"
With his help to know what happened, I then looked over into my neighbors' yard and saw the car on it's side and smoke coming up.
Then my neighbor (the wife) came running passed our front window, through our yard, shooting a gun and chasing down the driver of the white car.
So. We all dropped to the floor to avoid gun fire.
Yep. On the floor of my house. With my dog's collar in my hand. Because there was a gun being fired in my front yard.
And all I could think of was "crap. are the hamburgers burning on the bbq?"
Monica called 911.
The police arrived.
We came out to see what the damage was.
The good news was our cars and/or property was not damaged.
No one was injured. (My neighbor had been unloading groceries from her bronco parked next to the truck. Had she been out there, she would have been standing in the path of the cars. Also, they have golden retriever which was not in the way or in the front yard.)
They caught the guy.
Our dinner was ok. :)

Phew. I was worried about your burgers burning. ;)
wow!
No joke, Abbie, even knowing there was gun fire outside, I wanted to go out and check on my dinner! It was after 7 and we had been waiting for hours for the meat to thaw. Haha
Ironically, Monico hadn't even put them on the grill yet so I was worried for nothing!
Am I on the COPS blog? How rad is that? Glad nothing and no one was damaged beyond repair.
