It wouldn't surprise me that someone got their car stolen over there. There is also a man in a wheelchair that is bumming money from these people at Riverfest. He has a lookout and then comes right up to your car and begs.

I was one of the Firefighters along with my father who is a 27 year veteran of the fire service that rolled up on this car wreck last night. After the guy hit the pole he went over a small embankment and then got out of the car and ran.
