Happy New Year!! Oh my goodness, I can’t believe it’s 2018. I hope we can
leave all that December Drama behind. Here at Breezy we have 3 rules for
our customers and two rules for our drivers.
Let’s talk about the driver’s rules:
Rule Number One: Never leave the keys in your vehicle when it is
unattended.
Rule Number Two: Don’t forget rule number one.
Fact … Intoxicated people think it is humorous to take an unattended Breezy.
Whether it is a car or a golf cart. When we added the brand new EZ GO Cart,
one of our favorites jumped in the driver’s seat and punched the gas pedal,
not realizing the thrust this new cart had. He was heading straight into a
parked car and turned the wheel hard left and almost flipped the thing in a
huge gravel parking lot. It was horrifying to watch and extremely funny. No
harm. No foul.
Then one night at a bar in the middle of the island, Joey walked in to pick
up some folks. Minutes before arriving the TIPD had been called because of
a fight that had happened. Joey walked out of the bar to find his cab was
gone. He figured no one had stolen it, it was most likely a prank. However,
he was also aware that the prankster was most likely hammered. He walked
around the building hoping to find that it was just hidden from him. No car.
Seconds later he saw a Crown Vic flying down Lewis Ave. It was his car with
a whole load of pranksters taking a joy ride. The timing was perfect because
the TIPD pulled in 30 seconds later. Again, horrifying but somehow funny.
One afternoon I was picking up a pizza. I was in there for a few minutes,
and when I came out, my cab had been moved to a different parking spot.
Not really a parking spot. The prankster had relocated my cab to block any
cars trying to get in the parking lot. There must have been 9 or 10 cars lined
up at a complete stop. I ran to get the car moved and the second vehicle in
the traffic jam was a bunch of locals who thought now was the time to give
me a hard time (jokingly, of course). We exchanged a couple f bombs and
middle fingers to each other. The passengers in the first blocked car had
a look of horror on their faces. I believe once I moved the cab they drove
straight through the parking lot. I can’t remember who the prankster was,
but kudos to him. That was an excellent prank.
It’s not always a bar where these things happen. One night I was in the cab
and dispatching Joey, who was driving a golf cart that night. He had dropped
some people off on Chatham Ave. We were not super busy, so he hung out
there waiting on the next call. I called him 10 minutes later for his next ride.
He called me back and to say someone had stolen our golf cart. What!? He

said, “IT IS GONE!” I guess I have watched enough episodes of Cops and
I knew what I was doing when I went into cop mode and started my hunt.
I was coming south on Jones and when I got to 12th St., I started looping
the blocks. I was on the phone with Joey the whole time. I finally made it
to Jones and Chatham and there went our cart, hauling ass. Two young
men had decided to take a joy ride. I proceeded to chase them and was
contemplating pulling a pit maneuver. I was right on their tail. As we raced
down Chatham Ave., Joey was in our view and we were headed straight
at him. The boys locked the brakes up, jumped off and made a run for it. I
jumped out of the car and started a foot chase. Those boys were fast.
Go Breezy, please never drink and drive.
