Report:

The damage to Ms. Elogar's car, a red Mazda, occurred between 10:30 a.m. and 10:52 a.m. on June 13, in front of the Coarville Pharmacy at 342 Elm Street. Since the shopping cart was overturned beside the Chevette, and was blocking the lane, the Chevette would have been unable to park around it. The owner of the Chevette said he had parked in front of the Mazda at 10:30 a.m. Therefore, the incident must have occurred after 10:30 a.m. since the call was received by the police at 10:52 a.m.

The most likely explanation for the damage is that the shopping cart had been left on the street, and the wind then pushed it into Ms. Elogar's car. The impact of this then slowed the shopping cart, and perhaps set it off balance, so that it fell over into the street, beside the Chevette. As there were a lot of people on the sidewalk, it is very likely that someone would have seen the incident, and could verify this theory.

Once again, familiarize yourself with these types of questions in order to be well-prepared for your testing session.
