Received this text today: "Won't make it tomorrow Ada, sorry!  Crazy shit! My car was hit by stray gunfire yesterday... bank robbers shooting all over North Side Stockton.  So I have a flat tire and a broken windshield, but I'm alive!!!!"

Ada, it should be easy to check out his alibl because an incident like this would have
made the news!  And it IS Stockton, and we all know that shit happens there......

gotta give him points for that lol

for creativity but simply just a crap excuse .wish we could generate more interest and activity on this board and the ad boards.

There was a bank robbery and shootout involving an assault rifle in Stockton on Wednesday.  So it's possible that the guy was telling the truth!

Tell him to come by before repairing the windshield, if it has bullet holes it's free.

Yes, sadly it was true and hostages were hurt and killed during the robbery and chase.

Indeed it's a terrible tragedy, & it was especially cowardly & barbaric to take female hostages.

I mean, it did say that they had an infinite amount of bullets and that lots of cars were hit. But if his car had been hit the day before, he should've had time get a new tire and windshield before his appointment with you, right?. Or maybe he had to spend all his money on that and then couldn't afford to go through with the appointment...
But whether his story is true or not, that's still an excuse I've never heard before lol.
So sad about the innocent people that got hurt in the shooting!

And it wouldn't be "cowardly & barbaric" to take a MALE hostage? lol

That one is the best excuse Ive ever heard.
