One evening about three weeks ago my wife said she would like to go to the county fair . It is a small country town and I know most people .
We get there about 7am and park next to four sport bikes on grass .
After a good two hours I told my wife my back was killing me and was going to set in the truck .

A guy with two boys comes walking up to the bikes .
This guy tells his boys to set on the bikes and he will take a picture . So I get video going . Guy tells the boys to standup on the bike for an action shot .

One of the boys about 10 or 11 years old jumps up and came down on the back turn signals with his feet broke both . The father takes both kids to his car and takes off (video still rolling) .

later the guys with the bikes come back and see the damage and I show them the video . cops go to his home and he said no was not at the fair tonight .

That's when the cop showed him the video .

The battery totally died on me on Friday - luckily in my garage - quick disconnect and up to the dealership, and they gave me a new one under warranty.
