"...police responded to the parking lot of the Richmond Memorial Library to check on a reported suspicious vehicle."

Which got me to wondering. Just what makes a vehicle in a library parking lot suspicious? Was it attempting to mimic a hedgerow? Or, if it was a small red car, was it trying to pass itself off as a fire hydrant? Just what makes a vehicle suspicious?

"Just what makes a vehicle suspicious?"

Ed, it was the car's tinted windshield, and the backseat filled with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that was the dead giveaway.

I get it, a car in a parking lot, doesn't get more suspicious than that. Got me thinking, I saw a car in the mcdonalds drive thru the other day, it had 4 tires on it. Damn it, it was suspicious too, wish I would have gotten a plate number. guess that one got away.

I am pretty sure that this will cost taxpayers far more than what they will recover from Ms. Faiello. What a waste over something as stupid as a parking ticket.

Peter, reminds me of something my father once told me," If you owe the government a dollar, they will spend a 100 to get it."
