I noticed Tuesday that when I was getting our trash bins from the curb to put away behind the house that the flowerbed wall next to the driveway looks funny. So I investigated further. The dirt, no, the "soil" in the flowerbed was pushed back a little and several of the loose dry stack stones that make the wall were out of position, and had been pushed in and there were marks on the concrete driveway where it was evident that one of the stones had been knocked onto the driveway. I re-stacked them in under a minute and the soil will settled down into place with a push or two of my hand, so no real damage except a small scratch on the driveway that will vanish after the next rain.

Mrs Carrera asked that I investigate further. One of the security cameras on my DVR system is pointed right at my driveway, so I was going to have a clear view of the culprit. So I found on Sunday evening at 17:49:21 hours the guy that delivered our pizza pulled up out front, a then decided to back up into the driveway. He smacked right into the wall with his SUV. I can read the license tag, in the HD footage, and clearly see him put some of the bricks back in place, and then deliver the pizza to us.

He did no real damage to our property, and I fixed the wall in a minute and the only damage was some scratches to his bumper and a possible dent in the valance. Not my problem. Hopefully he learned to be more vigilant in watching his mirrors when he backs up. I could save a clip of the video, but I see no positive reason to bother to go any further.
