" Years ago, an older man backed into my car in the church parking lot. He was flustered, moved away, and backed into it again. I was really mad. I was a teenager and my car was brand new.

Now I find out I could have had the poor man arrested. "

" Things aren't always what they seem. The woman could have walked into the path of the backing up car on purpose.
Why was she so close to the car when the two had obviously split? "
