Quiz of the week - Eugene Sydnor's Back Yard Invaded
on Friday August 3, 2007 10:14AM
Many of you are familiar with the intersection in the West End of Richmond where Grove Avenue dead ends into Three Chopt Road. A right turn will take you toward Village Shopping Center, and a left turn will head to CCV or across the Huguenot Bridge.
Eugene Sydnor, a member of FBYC for about 50 years, lived at the intersection of Three Chopt Road and St. Andrews Lane for many years until his death several years ago, when the house was sold. His back yard is fenced in and it extends to behind the intersection, and you will notice a newly installed section of wooded fence in the middle of this picture.
Last weekend, in a the late evening, a car failed to turn at the light and went straight into the yard, went through the guardrail, (seen leaning and dented) and even knocked down even some trees in the back yard. You would have thought that would have been the end of the story. But no, the driver decided to leave, so he spun around, and exited the yard the same way he came in, and disappeared.
So the question is, Were the authorities able to capture the offender, and if so how? Click on Read More for the answer.
Unfortunately for the driver, one of his license plates was found in the back yard!
