I looked out the window and what did I see....

It's been an interesting night. Kensie came downstairs around 6:00 and told me that there was a car in the front yard. Not the driveway, the front yard. Sure enough....

I was a bit freaked out & after I made sure there was not a dead body in there I called police dispatch. As I was calling I noticed ANOTHER car in my neighbor's yard. If you know my neighbor, you know how much he loves his yard. I was more worried for the driver of that car (who was responsible and stuck around until the cops came unlike the driver of the car in my yard who just bailed after it happened, I guess) suffering the wrath of my neighbor, but he was actually really cool about it. The road was pretty icy, I guess.

We hung out while the cops tried to figure out who's car was in my yard. They searched the car, ran the plates (expired tags- registered owner had sold it) and discussed various reasons for someone just leaving the car (intoxication being #1).

Finally the owner showed up. Apparently he lives in the neighborhood and instead of knocking on my door he just decided to go home and call it in.



The tow truck arrived and {hopefully} took the car away without too much damage to our yard. We'll find out in the spring! The guy ran over the cable, phone, and power boxes. Luckily everything still works for now but there are a lot of exposed wires.....
