Runnin’ from 5-0

I got a letter today from the Town of Ashland (VA) Police Department. Ashland is a town south of Richmond and several hours from where I live. The letter reads as follows:

Dear Sir or Madam: On 8/18/00 a report was filed with this agency concerning the failure to render payment for fuel acquired at Fas Mart 523 S Washington Way Ashland VA 23005. The report list [sic] your license plate: xxx-xxxx as the vehicle involved. Please contact the officer below immediately to clear up this matter.

Interesting fact: Though the license plate number matches mine, on 8/18/00 I was nowhere near Ashland, VA.

I called today to straighten it out, but the officer I have to talk to is out until Friday. Should be interesting to see how this plays out. -ram
