You hadn't heard?

Sadly, John Gage was run over in the Sun Microsystems parking lot two weeks
ago.
The driver was not apprehended, but an APB for hit-and-run is out on black
Ford  Contintental with the license plate "WeBeSpooks."

Jim Bidzos was narrowly missed by the same car, and now supports GAK.
