I didn't have to work today, but I had to run in (on my way home) anyways because I had to buy a drink.
Just as I head out, I heard some people reacting to something. I turn around and see that this monster of a 18 wheel flatbed truck had torn the ENTIRE rear bumper off of a minivan and kept on driving until he left the parking lot. It was like a wrecking ball had hit a brick wall.
So my natural reaction is to run in and grab my supervisor, since the vehicle belonged to one of our customers. We met the van's owner a short time later, and she had no idea that her van had been smashed.
So another witness called the police after I got back, and put the driver on the phone with 911. So what felt like 2 years later, a one cop shows up and talks to me, the other witness, and I think somebody else.
I later learned that he nearly hit the other witness and her kids, and took out a reinforced stop sign on the way out (I didn't see that because of the distance and trees/bushes). Unfortunately, none of us were able to get his license plate since we didn't see the front of cab, it was all from the side.
It shouldn't be too hard for the cops to track down a 18 wheeled monster with paint/metal scrapings and dents on the front of the cab.
