You sure he was a cop and not the mayor?

You can't always get what you want - but this was close enough.

I'm still not letting the guy near my bread. I heard he robbed a house once.

This guy was my fiance's cousin's boyfriend.

/Not bsing.

badge # 2120 would have been a better reference.

Anyway basketkase999, I'm sorry to hear that.

Why would a cop steal a crashed car?
*Reads TFA*

Ahhhh. Click.

FTFA: Jordan Kelly, 21, of Falmouth, was pinned under his BMW when his car rolled over on Thomas Landers Road and he was partially ejected, Falmouth Sgt. Arthur Gonsalves said....Police said speed was a factor in the crash.

Hey, basketkase999, was this guy a speed demon?

Yeah, just leave out the bit that said it was a cop AND 2 neighbours so it sounds more impressive and unlikely.

If you've been lifting vehicles off of trapped victims, I heard this guy wants to have a word with you.

approves.

gosurfing. in the storyline, jean valjean saves a man's life by lifting a broken cart off the man's pinned leg.

The passenger compartment (driver's side) looks remarkably intact. I'm gonna guess this was an unrestrained driver?

The headline and who else had a badge #24601. Basically, I don't get the headline.

My grandad was in the RMP during the war and then a village bobby.

One of the stories is that he arrived at an overturned car in a ditch with a young lady inside. Lifted the car out of the ditch, saving her and destroying his back.

/Young lady was daughter of Labour party MP
//MP tried to have him fired because her dress got wet...

Sounds more to me like "SURPRISE, SURPRISE, sargent".

Diggin: he headline and who else had a badge #24601.

It's the convict number of Jean Valjean in Les Misérables, who saved a man by lifting a cart off of him.

Les Miserables. Spoiler alert: Jean Valjean was prisoner #24601, gets parole, and lifts a carriage off some guy.

Is it ok to have read to Victor Hugo original?

Double FAIL. Webber didn't write Les Misérables, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boubil did. (They also wrote Miss Saigon.)

"Rogers and two men who lived nearby were able to lift the BMW enough to relieve the pressure on Kelly's chest, allowing him to breath, Gonsalves said."

At this point, all you have to do is read the thread itself, as it's been explained, oh, 3 times.

google number 24601 and you get tons of relevant hits...

Multiple people seem to think Les Miserables was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. This breaks my heart a little inside.

Webber wrote Phantom of the Opera and a bunch of similar... well, I guess I can't say garbage, because they weren't quite that bad. But Les Miserables is a few giant steps above anything Webber wrote, and I hate that it gets lumped in with his style.

It's like mistaking something written by Leonard Cohen for something written by Jewel.

Actually, it hasn't. 24601 has, but not 2120.

The Pearl isn't a novel. And it's junior high material.
