Saturday morning at about 1 o'clock, we had a drunk driver drive through the wall to our backyard. Only my parents were home because both Doug and I were at a friend's house. Neither my parents nor our 2 dogs heard the crash. But the neighbors did. So the neighbors thinking they hit their house ran outside and realized it was our house and that nobody was outside yet, started banging on my parent's windows to wake them up. The driver had turned into our yard, driving straight at Lindsey's room, and barely missed the house and hit our wall. He was stuck and rolled his tires, ruining all of our water pipes, flooding our front yard. The passenger, knowing they were stuck, got out and ran through our backyard and jumped on our composter to get over the fence and fell through it instead. Then the driver ended up getting out of the hole, backing up and heading straight through our 2 trees and out of our neighbor's driveway (while nearly running over our neighbor in the process). So we had atleast 6 cops there and our neighbor's son, who we have had many problems with in the past was a great help. He called up his friend and they went through all of the grocery store parking lots looking for the car. They ended up on Wacker (a few streets north of us) in the condos with the car! So once the police got there, they found out that the owner of the car's brother drives it and they couldn't prove who was actually driving at the time so the owner's car insurance will have to pay for all of the damage. To start with the damage, we had our yard guys over almost 6 hours trying to fix our water which ended up costing about $500. And that's not all the damage!! (and we can't forget that daddy's poor tomatoes were ruined :'() Here are some pictures of what happened!
