Doing the right thing.<br />I had to call the police for my last car, after parking it on the street one day after work, I went out the next day-only to find someone had set it on fire! It had burned itself out during the night thank goodness. It ended up being totaled-no surprise. But the cop said that I shouldn't expect them to find anything.ledatangenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831536898745335504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-66921059953735328652012-02-17T20:54:28.580-05:002012-02-17T20:54:28.580-05:00This post brought me to tears.

The child was obviously developmentally challenged and had features that were consistent with fetal alcohol syndrome. He was not even acting up in the office.
