had a visit from the sheriff this weekend

I was going to say, i wouldn't park that in the street but sounds like you are kinda in the middle of nowhere. Back in the mid 80's i had a 2yr old vette that i parked in my front yard after someone tried to break into it. It was a 6 family row type house and "my" yard was only car sized. I got up one morning with a ticket on it for parking on the tree belt.
