not to change the subject entirely, I had left my car at O'Hare long term parking one winter for a couple weeks. When I came back the car had clearly been hit by a snow plow. The trunk lid was bashed in and had yellow paint all over it and you could see the snow removed around it where the plow path was. Anyway, I took lots of pictures and filed a claim against the parking facility. Their answer was "We are not responsible for the damage, we were not in control of the vehicle" I think they meant they weren't in control of my vehicle but they obviously weren't in control of the plow either! Anyway, I fought it but never got a dime. I did quit parking there however. I'm sure they noticed me missing...
Tying this together with Mark's story, last winter my neighbor left his car running in the driveway. It had snowed the night before. Somehow his car slide down his driveway, across the street and took out my mailbox as it landed in the ditch in front of my house. Took us a while to get it out of the ditch. My mailbox was destroyed.
Okay, back to Mark's mailbox.
