Last fall we were gone over a weekend, and when we came home there were skid marks across our yard and hole in our tree.
The ground level branches were broken off where a car had crashed into the tree!
I checked the front door, and sure enough there was a note. It basically said, sorry, we hydroplaned, here’s my phone number, sorry.
The funny thing is, my wife was telling a friend of hers about it and they were discussing the name (it was signed with a first name only), handwriting, and color of the car (there were a few broken pieces left under the tree), and they figured out who it was! They had gone to school together years ago.
I’m just glad I wasn’t getting the mail or something.

Nobody’s commenting. What’s with that?
Body pieces — I suppose that’s what the masses want from photo journal of this event.
A bumper from the assaulting vehicle, perhaps.
Or maybe a piece of trim.
Or shards from a tail light lens.*
Well, ITF? Would you deign to help out the more “blood-thirsty” ones among us?

Sorry, I didn’t think to take pictures of the fragments at the time. They’re long gone by now, this was way back sometime last August. It was a few pieces of plastic.
