A man was trying to pull out of a parking place,
but nicked the bumper of the parked car in front
of him. Witnessed by a handful of pedestrians
waiting for a bus, the driver got out, inspected
the damage, and proceeded to write a note to
leave on the windshield of the car he had hit.
(This was the law in California for damage to
an unoccupied vehicle.)

The note read:

"Hello. I have just hit your car, and there are
some people here watching me who think that I
  am writing this note to leave you my name,
phone number, and driver's license number,
but I am not."
