Who Does This?
GM walked out of his house on Saturday and discovered that somebody had cut off a bunch of flowers from an annual he had in a box in the front of his house.
Who does this?
What a petty crime (both in terms of it being a really small violation but also just being small-minded). Are those flowers really worth stealing?

This Friday, PARK(ing) Day comes to Georgetown. This is an annual event celebrated across the globe whereby space that is ordinarily allocated to the storage of cars is taken over for other uses.
