Use to be a regular thing to find cars in the cut on the BCN before they started torching them. We often puzzled of how they drove the car to that spot to dump it. Luckily in those days BW had lots of men on little blue boats so if there was a car you looked for a BW man scratching his head in puzzlement. --- On Tue, 11/25/08, Steve Haywood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I still don't know how that could happened but it did. It was very spooky. Steve [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
