Subject:Hit&run: by a BUS!
From:Tobin Copley

Here's an odd one for the VW karma department:

Drove my nice new H*nda civic into work today, parked it, and when I
came out for lunch, it had been hit and the whole driver's door was
seriously caved in.  Hit and run, grrr...

But a coupla witnesses saw a culprit--a white loaf-style bus!  The
witnesses got a plate number (which the police say matches the
vehicle description in the registration database), so hopefully I
won't be hosed too badly.

I usually surprise busted bus folks by peeling off to the side of the
road in my H*onda... but, next I see a broken-down bus on the side of
the road, should I check the plate number first, *then* decide if I'm
going to stop?

I'm undergoing a serious karma crisis here!  ;-)
