I wonder why this house was declared uninhabitable:
A 12-year-old crashed his cousin's Jeep Cherokee into the side of an east Miramar home Sunday, leaving three family members homeless.Police arrested the cousin of the driver for allowing the boy to drive the SUV.
Miramar police arrested Yves Amedee, 25, who lives in the same neighborhood as the family whose home was damaged. He was charged with allowing an unauthorized person to operate a vehicle and obstructing an investigation by being disruptive.
The one-story home struck by the vehicle was deemed uninhabitable. Protective tape encircled the house to prevent onlookers from getting too close.
We also had a family member drive a car through our house. I won't give this person's name, but it rhymes with "Vlad." Pulling into the carport late one night, "Vlad" suddenly drew a blank on the division of labor of the pedals at his feet. Was there blood in his alcohol stream? I believe there was. He went through the house, but we didn't disinhabit it. My brother-in-law had a new wall up the next day.
For quite a while after that my mother employed a high-tech device to warn drivers that a wall was approaching: the wheeled washtub used to catch air conditioner juice from a wall unit was combined with lengths of clothesline tied to two-by-fours on either side and placed at the front of the carport whenever "Vlad" went out for the evening.
Now that's what I call curb appeal.
That wasn't the last time "Vladdy's" car went through a wall. He left the keys and another little family member, his name rhymes with "my kid", in the car parked in front of the 7/11 with the stick in gear. "My kid" turned the key, and hopped over the curb and through the window.
Vlad, .....I swear,...
