Do I recall correctly that the person who hit VelvetBullDog in a hit-and-run back in springtime is a dead ringer for the description here including the green Range Rover and priors in the counties listed?

my thoughts exactly, Irukanji! hope when they catch this slimeball, they let TVB have a crack at his marbles first. ;)

LOL-“a crack at his marbles.” Right on! While it seems that green Range Rovers/Land Rovers are the vehicle of choice for chronic losers (sorry Land Rover–not good PR!) this isn’t “my” guy. I’ll post an update on the Forums. Thanks for looking out for me!

Mine too. Although, I seem to remember the Range Rover in TVB’s incident being a ’94. But, that could be a moot point, if either source has the year wrong.
