Kind of ironic that it happened while the owner was at church.
Like the Bible says "Trust in God but don't forget to tie your camel"

I agree with you Fred, there is weird people every where, This country is running wild with them every where. No state is immune. And I see no change in site.

I wonder if he didn't have a father or grandfather that had a Model A ? -no way anyone that is not already familiar with a car of this vintage is going to be able to start it-and fewer and fewer young people know how to drive a manual trans.

Good point. Just read in today's paper that some young kid tried to steal a 71 year old lady's new Kia out in Portland, but couldn't drive a stick shift and was soon captured!

Call it a zombie apocalypse. Apocalypse ends a civilization, zombies are humanoids with messed up hair and faces with weird sores on their skin that run around biting people or smashing things. That there in the photograph is a zombie.

I know for a fact that not everyone shuts off the gas after parking their Model A.

I sure feel bad for the owner, and hope he can get it repaired and back on the road soon. I assume that's the hood between the car and policeman, but why does it look so short and wide, and what is the colored part? Possible water distortion for the looks, but I still can't figure out the colored part on the right edge.

My thought was that the floating object is the seat cushion.
