Meant to post this last week, from one of my neighbors on our civic association mailing list:
Sunday (today) at 8am we had an unwelcome visitor outside
our house . . . on top of my car.
One of my neighbors pursued him when he ran off in order to help the
police nab him. The police ended up chasing him and finally caught
him (a good work out first thing in the morning). No damage to my car
(I think) other than spit, boot marks (from him acting out a scene
from Titantic), and a whole bunch of hand prints. He was so tweaked
out that he started banging on the windows because he thought his
brother was in there . . .I LOVE this neighborhood!
