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.

To sum this up, and Model A related, there is more and more DISRESPECT in our country, people who disrespect their bodies aren't gonna give a hoot about YOUR property. Or Your safety.

Something has to change boys..............

I seem to notice more frequently the attitude that if "He/She" isn't/wasn't using IT that IT is ok to take IT, whatever IT is, usually a car though. Just something I have noticed.

another view of the car in the water

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.

Seat cushion?

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

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!
