Mystery Solved! Kind of.
The case of the mysterious green Saab that is frequently parked in front of a fire hydrant but never has any tickets on it is closed, more or less.
A couple of months ago my brother and sister-in-law noticed a green Saab - the one pictured above with its license plate blurred out - that was, more often than not, parked on their street in front of a fire hydrant.
Why?, they asked, would the car be parked in front of the fire hydrant so often? And why are there never any tickets on it?
We speculated: undercover cop car, undercover diplomat, someone who has something on the chief of police.
In recent months the car started parking in legal spots, and we more or less forgot about it. Until yesterday, when I got a text message from my sister-in-law: Green Saab is back in front of the hydrant!
