Car Fire

Yes, it is 3am Monday morning and my camera chose this day to have battery connection issues...there goes another $150...

Anyway, It was 2am and I was awake and watching TV due to the dogs freaking out over the smoke detector's low battery alarm. All of a sudden I realize there is a background noise that sounds like a continous car horn. I stop the dvd and realize it's outside but it was faint...like it was a block away. I looked out the window and see an SUV on fire two doors down. So I throw on some clothes, grabbed the cell phone, and ran out the door. The dogs were laying on the bed and just looked up at me through all of this ; )

The story was a neighbor was at a bar and was too drunk to drive home. So she asked this women she met to drive her in her SUV. This other woman hit something and kept driving. When they pulled up to my neighbor's house the car just caught on fire. The other woman took off.

I'm so mad I didn't get pictures! I even tried my remote batteries that work and the camera wouldn't turn on. I did get a hell of a lot of use out of it though but I'm dissapointed if it doesn't even last a year. I'll try new batteries at work tomorrow.
