Letter: Latest local lunacy is a head-scratcher

To the Editor:

Last April, backing out of the Chamber parking lot, I bumped into a boulder. Guy comes running over, yells that I hit his car. He was parked 20 feet away in the street on the other side of a rock garden!

No physical investigation by anybody. My insurance paid him $1,600. Their accident reconstruction expert agreed from an office in Baker. State of Oregon rubber-stamped it. Local police won’t touch it after the fact. DMV Fraud doesn’t answer their phone.
