Over the last 20 years there have been 4 times that vehicles were totaled, and one time when the damage was a couple of hundred less than total and that was a new car that was side swiped from front to back on the street side and the wheels on the curb side were bent from them being pressed against the curb, and the front right side was pushed into a telephone pole that the car was near before being hit.
I know for sure that two of the times the speeding driver was running from the police and they were on strong illegal drugs.
One time a drunk walked down the hill from the local bar and got in his new truck and dried to drive it. He swiped a car on the opposite side of the road from his truck and did major damage, swiped a fancy brick wall and damaged it and bounce off, sheered off a telephone pole knocking out power to the neighbor hood with a huge electric arc noise, and then totaled to cars by pushing one into the other. And to top it all off he was friends with the local police and they did not arrest him.
One time one was running from the police and he was going soooo fast that he left a skid mark on the side of the street where cars normally park that started two houses up the street from my house, went by my house (I was not home and had the car with me), and the house down the street from mine, and then he slammed into the front of a car that was parked facing up hill and totaled that car and his car leaving four skid marks the entire distance, and the car he hit left short skid marks from it being moved. His relative said he was using the car without permission, and he was high on heroin and had heroin in the car. The girls that were in his car were drunk and hurt.
One time two very young kids were running from the police in a stolen Camaro and came flying down an alley that T intersects with the main street. There was a small car parked across the street from the alley and when the Camaro hit the hump in the middle of the street it went airborne and came down as it plowed into the doors of the small car, pushing the doors into the center of the car. The kids got out and ran away. Later one of the officers got in the Camaro and even though the front was all smashed in it started and ran, and the officer drove it away, though slowly.
Last night about 2 AM someone speeding destroyed two cars a little up the hill and across the street from my house. The kids in the car got out and ran away but one was hurt. One came back and the police were there and figured out that he was one of the ones in the speeding car and they asked him his name and they knew he was wanted for other stuff and arrested him. Late today I talked to the owner of one of the parked cars that was totaled last night and she said the police said they would contact her today but they did not.
One thing for sure, this is not an area to park a vehicle in if the vehicle is not covered by insurance.

So, are is there anyone else here on BITOG that has a street they park on where parked vehicles sometimes get totaled?
