Damn, he's good!  The hole in the fence is temporily patched.  I used the
lumber that was knocked down.  It's strong enough to keep small dogs out
of the yard :-)   The damaged shrubbery has been cut down and put in the
recycle bins.   We found one oily/greasy leaf, but that was no surprise.

The scraping damage to the base of the shrubbery makes it
look like the vehicle was coming down the hill (if it hit nose first)
or possibly someone who was parked or parking at the curb and hit the
throttle a bit too hard while in reverse.
