Early yesterday morning I was awakened by blue lights flashing in my yard. I looked out of the window and could see a patrol car and another car on the edge of my front yard. At first I thought it was just a traffic stop for speeding or a similar problem. When daylight came and I went to survey what had happened; this is what I found. Two of our oldest and most beautiful dogwood trees destroyed and a trench dug into our yard from an apparent car that was driving entirely too fast and recklessly missing the curve that my house is built on...thus resulting in the pictures shown. Aside from being sickened from loosing our treasured trees; I found other items around the site that sickened me just as much..Two pieces of metal were left behind. One was a Nissan emblem from the car and the other a Bud Light can. I think you can add up all of the above facts and come up with the same conclusion that I did. Did you know that when something like this happens to your personal property that the investigating officer bears no responsibility to the homeowner to inform them of the damage. The burden of repairing and removing the debris is entirely the property owners responsibility. It says a lot for our society that someone can deface another person's property and have absolutely no responsibility to make it right. So much of our problem as a generation today is that no one is held accountable anymore.
