"Seconds earlier, I had coasted toward the light, a soft breeze raising goosebumps on my bare arms, and thought how glad I was to be headed to work so early.
A red blur streaked to my left, and a red car turned into my path. Even as I tried to veer to the right, I sensed, already out of body, a panel of metal colliding with my bike.
I do not remember the shock of impact or what happened next."
Read the rest of this story..."The president of my division (about 1000 people) was flying from our mainbusiness office to our main engineering facility. When he was waitingin the airport for a flight, he overheard a conversation between twopeople sitting near him that were getting on the same flight as him. Helater called someone in my office and reported back what he heard.
The people he listened to were engineers for one of our supplierstalking about the problems with a product that they were flying down topresent information to us about (I was sitting in on these meetings).They were having reliability problems that they never reported to us inthe way they talked about it."

I put thesecurity images on DVD, then went to the guys house, and recordedevidence showing that the vehicle in the security footage was the sameas the vehicle at the defendant's house. It was easy. We knew the make,model, and color of the vehicle, plus some distinguishing features. Thesecurity footage didn't get the license plate number, but mine did.
Whenthe police showed up, they found the gun in the vehicle still, andmatched it up to four other shootings in the same area. The guy isnicely tucked away in jail now." Source: http://ask.slashdot.org/ comments.pl?sid=204431&cid=16711783
