The reporter was talking to a guy who's car was parked
1/2 block from his house.
There is no way I could live like that......it's in the garage or I buy only clunkers..........1/2 block away.....I still can't get over how people do that.

It's a wonder the driver isn't seriously injured at the scene. Guy is a moron, and hope the LEOs find him.
