PORT ANGELES — Police impounded the car that wrecked two fences in the yard of a Port Angeles man.
When the car went through Jeff Thayer’s yard, it destroyed two fences and a swing glider and knocked parts of a fence against an above-ground pool.
The beige BMW backed out of the yard, but it left behind its front bumper — complete with the vehicle identification number, said Cpl. Jesse Winfield.
A Clallam Transit paratransit driver saw the car while picking people up and called it in to police, Winfield said.
The car was impounded, and the search for the people in it began.
The driver of the car hasn’t been tracked down yet, Winfield said.
“We know who he is, and he knows that we know who he is, but so far he hasn’t turned himself in,” Winfield said.
He did not name the man.
“We have a couple of witnesses that were passengers, and now we are looking for one more passenger and the driver,” he said.
Thayer said the outer fence was installed only two weeks before the Dec. 2 wreck and the inner fence was finished about a year ago.
Earlier that day, he had hung up Christmas lights.
He estimated that the swing cost $500 and the fences $1,500.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to phone the Port Angeles Police Department at 360-452-4545.
