You ever listen to that song Third rock from the sun? In the song there is a lyric that incudes, “He leaves the motor running he’ll only be a minute….” Yeah, I think this guy may have stopped by my house today.
This morning my daughter comes to me and tells me there is a truck sitting outside our house not moving. I go and take a look and right on the corner, facing the wrong way is a truck, engine still running, windows dark, no signs of life. I think to myself, ok maybe they have stopped to send a text…on the wrong side of the road…..in the middle of an intersection. However not wanting to overreact I decide to wait awhile. I kind of, forgot, for maybe a half hour, and I take a peek, the truck was still there. Still running. Now its getting weird. I grudgingly make a call to the authorities unsure of what else to do. Officer comes out, relatively quickly I might add, and takes a look. Empty.
So, a truck, sitting in the intersection, running, with no one in it, no one near it, no signs of footprints in the mud, so the officer tells me after knocking on my door. Twilight zone moment. By this time over an hour at least has gone by. Still no signs of the driver. What in the world? The officer I guess figured out who the owner is, but not where the owner is. And so the officer called for a tow and they ended up hauling the truck away. Mystery unsolved. For now…….
