...getting involved...
Awhile back, I had just parked on the third line at a Taco Bell at Chesapeake Square. I was consulting my itinerary when a sudden movement to my left caught my eye. A middle-age white couple was in their very ordinary vehicle less than three feet from a blue sporting looking automobile. I knew then they had backed into the vehicle behind them. Did anyone see them? They began to pull away. I immediately exited my Honda something and began to deliberately record their license plate to paper. They drove away.
Walking into Taco Bell, I announced in my best imitation of a Ft. Leonardwood drill instructor, "Alright, people listen up! Who owns the blue sports car parked out front?"
A middle-aged white guy looking very much retirement age looked at me with apprehension, knuckles going white against his tray. The black kid standing next to him was going eyes white (I am not making this up).
"Me...."
"Someone backed into you. I did get his plates as he drove away."
"Sh#t!!!!!!", as he tried not to throw his tray.
The sports car turned out to be a brand new 2006 Corvette. The owner had bought it as his retirement reward. And he had less than 500 miles on her.
