Backyard Renovation

The walls are officially bleeding and the voices are saying "get out" (and trust me! We're trying!). Last night at 2:30 a.m. T. heard a very loud bang, similar to a gunshot, followed by another sound and an impact vibration that shook the house and woke me out of a sound sleep. Lo and behold . . .


There was a car that came through our back fence. Scary? It gets it scarier. See the little black thing in the pool of light?

That's her bumper. This car that came through our fence was PARKED. Whoever hit the parked vehicle, hit it fast enough to send it roughly 40 feet, over a curb, and through our fence WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON.

On the bright side, no one was hurt and my household (including the fuzzies) are all safe. The HOA is responsible for the outer fence, and they are going to try and fix it by Monday - hopefully before the opportunistic vultures steal all my patio furniture. And the best news . . . the car that did the hit and run busted off their license plate (although it may not do any good since the perpetrator will probably call in their car as stolen ::sniffle::). Still, hooray for karma!!

There used to be a gate in our fence, before we found people hiding in our yard. Then we parked our small Toyota out there - until it was totaled in a similar hit and run. And now a parked car came flying through our fence. It's time to MOVE. I don't need any more messages from the universe.
