Here’s a break from the crime stories and instead, it’s just one about a bad driver. In fact, while reading about this incident, I made a mental note to thank my dear father for teaching me how to drive almost 30 years ago. I remember him clutching the glovebox, trying to calmly tell me to pull over as I was driving the wrong way down a one-way boulevard… Because of his steadfast determination to make sure I knew my brake pedal from the gas, I didn’t do what this woman did back in November. In Randolph, Massachusetts, a woman put her vehicle in drive to pull out of a car wash… yet her foot was still on the accelerator. According to a boston.com story, the car flew through the parking lot and crashed into the fence and vacuuming station. Thankfully, no one was hurt. However, the same cannot be said for the vacuuming station…. or the fence…. or the woman’s car. This one is from last summer, but it’s too good to not include. On the morning of July 20, 2020, the owner of the Water Works Car Wash in Dundee, Michigan, called the police after he discovered that “someone had defecated in one of the car wash bays,” according to the police department’s Facebook page. Luckily, a review of security surveillance video identified both the suspect and his vehicle. A 57-year-oldman was charged and he has been banned from the car wash and was given a trespass warning. The Facebook post also stated that the stall was cleaned and sanitized by Water Works staff. “As a reminder there are several public restrooms available in the Dundee area including gas stations and restaurants - all available for your #1 and #2 needs.” 60 • WINTER 2021 The dark web’s got nothing on a stealthy car wash employee and the car wash’s security network! In Wausau, Wisconsin, a man has been accused of trying to purchase a car wash with not one, not two, but with 60 different stolen credit cards. According to WSAU News, Jason Neidert would allegedly, “purchase batches of credit card numbers from the dark web, then re-program old magnetic strip cards such as gift cards or hotel keys with the numbers. An employee at a Wausau-area Kwik Trip then observed him attempting to use the cards at the store’s car wash and alerted the company’s fraud team.” Police said surveillance footage shows Neidert attempting to purchase a car wash with as many as 60 different cards at a time. “Nearly all of the cards were immediately declined at the terminal,” the story said. And, for those who do not know, including myself a few minutes ago, according to Wired.com, “the Dark Web is a collection of websites that are publicly visible, yet hide the IP addresses of the servers that run them. That means anyone can visit a Dark Web site, but it can be very difficult to figure out where they’re hosted—or by whom.” Neidert, who entered a not guilty plea to more than a dozen charges on December 16, is being held on a $1,000 cash bond. “Should he be released he’s ordered to have no contact with any Kwik Trip stories.”
