We had just gotten home from the Homecoming game (LQPV was thoroughly trounced by ACGC 25-8 with that 8 being scored in the last 9 seconds of the game) and I was on AIM with the Insiderhosting peeps when someone started pounding on the door. I asked who it was and they replied that it was [small town] Police. He pointed across the street and asked if it was my car. Apparently, the Volvo had gotten out of park and had rolled backward across the street, and up onto the curb and lawn across the way. I stared at him with my jaw dropped and then ran to get my keys.

I ran down the driveway and across the street in my bare feet and got in the car, started it, and drove it back across the street and into the driveway. Jon hopped in and put the parking brake on.

We’re still wondering how exactly it went out of gear. Thank goodness for [small town] Police!!!
