DEAR ABBY
New hire is woman who wrecked neighbor’s car
Dear Abby: Last year, my across-the-
street neighbor backed into my car. At least,
that’s what I think happened.
My car was parked legally on the street,
and there was a huge dent in it. I called the
police and, based on the location of the dent

I had never met this woman before, but she
