Was there ever a report on the suspicious car fire, again a Ford Escape, on Jannette St (where Green lane ends) near the park entrance?
Car sat there for weeks half way up the curb, windows half down, and items thrown around the car. Then all of a sudden is was all burned up.
Eh, I'm sure it was nothing....
