OT: Loud Bang and this is what I found Options

[boxstr]

Monday night in Palm Desert, watching TV and outside a loud bang,thud,crunch.
I go outside and see two headlites sideways. After I get there, a girl in her PJs is standing in the car. All of the windows are up and the doors are locked.
Opened the door finally after she was able to unlock it.
She takes off, and runs up the street. Returns later after the Police and Fire Dept and Paramedics arrive, with her boyfirend, who is going ballistic when he see's the car.
Police stop by my house at midnight to get a report. Apparently she blew 3Xs the alcohol legal limit. Costly evening for this young lady.

We had something like this happen a couple weeks ago. Around midnight, we were just getting ready to go to sleep when we heard this tremendously loud *crash* outside. Had no idea what it was at first, we ran out onto the deck to see our neighbor chasing some truck that was backing up the hill (no outlet). Then a couple of other folks come out as well. Our neighbor was still up the street, and we noticed that the front end of his truck was crushed, and the truck itself had been pushed into their neighbors truck, which in turn was pushed into yet another truck. My wife calls dispatch to report the hit and run. And it turns out the Sheriffs are busy with a major accident elsewhere... Our neigbor meanwhile is trying to get this guy to stop, and in turn nearly gets run down for it. Then we hear the guy driving back down the hill. We figure he's making a run for it, and we try to get a plate (but it's too dark). The front of this truck was seriously damaged, and was already sounding pretty bad as he drove down the road, and out of sight...

We gave dispatch as good a description as we could, but figure the guy's gone. Didn't recognize him when he drove by. Then... 5 minutes later, we heard him coming back! The truck sounding worse than ever. He comes back, drives right by the three other vehicles he damaged, and proceeds to drive back up the same road he came down (WTF?). So a couple of the guys go up after him. Guy was so loaded that he could barely stand, and yet apparently, when he realized that his car was toast, he went HOME and tried to get into another car!!! One of my neighbors took the dudes keys, and the guy runs into his house and locks himself in. Sheriffs (three vehicles, five deputies) finally show up 20 minutes later to find the guy locked in his own house and refusing to allow them in.

When all was said and done, the warrant was issued like 2 hours later while he barricaded himself in, and then he finally gives himself up a many hours later. The kicker? It wasn't even his truck, he was renting, and it was his house mate's truck. Dude is in a wold of hurt forever now...

Thankfully, no one was injured, not even the piss-drunk SOB...

Quite a lot of excitement for a sleepy little mountain town...
