Um, yes, that is a car in our flower bed. 1 inch from our house. Barely fitting in the space between a tree and our front porch. Sitting on top of our very best lilac bush and crushing a few solar lights and some sprinkler heads. And that is our neighbor from the house across the street in the driver's seat.
How did this happen (I'm sure you are wondering)? Well, apparently she was about to leave to go to the airport and her car wouldn't start. She needed to jump start it, but wanted to move it a bit out of her garage. So she put it in neutral and (with no one in the car), pushed it out of her garage. I'm not exactly sure how she thought the car would stop considering her driveway is sloped down hill (towards our house). It rolled down her driveway, missed her mailbox, rolled across the street, missed the tree in front of our house, ran over some bushes and came to a stop 1 inch from our house.
So...not the text I would really love to get while on vacation, but obviously could have been a whole lot worse. The bad thing is that the buyers for our house are back in the country and wanted to come at 6pm today so the guy could show his family the house. Which was bad enough since I wasn't prepared and it looks like a house that has been ransacked while packing for vacation. Now it looks like a ransacked house with a car that's been driven through the front yard.
Never a dull moment my friends...
