I heard that they are filming a movie downtown today. We've got this big parking lot across the street, and they use it for misc stuff besides parking. Sometime film crews store support vehicles there. Today is one of those days

I went out at lunch (no camera) and checked things out. It's the new Transformers movie. There's a big tractor trailer with a flame paint job and a transformers logo on the side, and a couple of cars under tarps, and a whole fleet of "black ops" style government SUVs as typically depicted by Hollywood.

So I came back inside and Googled it to see how long they are in town, and found this clip. Apparently,a real cop car was responding to a suspicious package call and drove right onto a live film set this morning and got hit by one of the star cars of the movie. Hardly a scratch on the cop SUV, but the Bumblebee car looks totaled.
