[RP TownTalk] Car thieves... again!

[CAROL DE PRATO]

Along the lines of similar....2 days ago I was happily sitting in my nice 
warm house and all of a sudden I heard a crash and skid sound right outside 
my door.  Being the only house on the street, I immediately ran out to find 
my mail man furiously pointing up the street.  A blue Dodge Dakota was 
sideways on my street, spinning wheels to turn around and fly down the 
street.  As I looked at my truck I heard the horrible hissing sound of a 
tire going flat and saw that my front fender was smashed.  The mail man 
found the truck 2 blocks down the road abandoned.  Sadly for me it was a 
stolen truck that hit me, so I get to pay 500 dollars to get it fixed. I am 
sure the police will never catch the guy that hit me, and all I hope is that 
he has whiplash that lasts for the rest of his life.
