To answer Fox Bodies question.
The police were at the truck. There were so many people there as I passed by, I didn't notce any person in particular that I recognized as the occupants of the truck. My daughter (12) said there was an older lady and a girl. I saw a firetruck and maybe three cruisers at that site and a full complement of individuals.
To answer points brought up by others.
A few minutes later when I saw the smashed up 'stange, because of it's proximity to the truck and all that related activity I "suspected" that these kid's were involved with the truck I had just seen. That suspecion became stronger when the kid's behavior appeared to me to be drunken, and then the suspision about drinking became even stronger when he asked for jumper cables as he obviously was far enough out not to realize that they were beyond any point where jumper cable's could help.
Where I did not get a real good look at the damage to the truck the damage to the 'stang was considerable.
"IF" my suspison were real, these guys needed to be picked up, and as one of ya'll mentioned, at the very least the police would help them out of they're jam if I was wrong, and as someone else said, I had no idea if they were involved or if there were injuries.
A side note:
My step-daughter (21 then) was in a car one year ago just before Thanksgiving when she and the other three girls she was with were hit by a drunk driver in Grand Prarie, Tx. Two of the girls were killed, my daughter was pulled out unconsiouse and on fire. Yes, I may drink myself from time to time, but like I said in the story, this whole thing felt #$%^ed up to me.
