Luckily, there was a note on the windshield. It was not from the other driver, unfortunately, but rather from a concerned eye-witness. We know just how concerned they were because they took the time to sign the note "Sincerely, a concerned witness." They were so concerned, in fact, that they forgot to include their real name. Thankfully, the note not only identified the make and model of the responsible vehicle, but also the license plate number.

The police were able to trace that tip to a car owned by a Wesleyan student. They checked out the damage on his back bumper and were able to verify the witness’ report. The perpetrator told police that, indeed, he may have bumped a car earlier in the evening. He recalled a slight jolt, he said, although apparently he thought that he had just touched bumpers with Aaron’s Volvo. Surprisingly, he failed to recall the moment in which he backed up another foot and a half, shattering a headlight and doing several thousand dollars worth of body damage to the front of the car.

Now, we don’t feel that it would be right for us to identify this kid, but let’s just say that he does go to this school and that he may or may not be a member of the class of 2001. And it probably wouldn’t give too much away to say that he lives in High Rise on the (*&^# floor, possibly somewhere between rooms ### and ###. And if, for whatever reason, you are ever up in that area and you just happen to find yourself talking to @*$$& (*#0^, then perhaps you should ask him about the time he totaled Aaron’s car.
