It was parked outside near an old apartment building where a woman was throwing heavy things (TV, furniture, etc.) out the 2nd story window while yelling loudly at someone. My car was just below the window and somehow managed to avoid being hit. On 5/14/2021 1:11 PM, Tom Brennan wrote: > Got it, thanks.
