Tony Bennett may have left his heart in San Francisco, but some unfortunate driver left his (fill in the blank auto part) on Hyde Park Avenue in Jamaica Plain today.

Now I know a little about cars. I can change my oil and top off my fluids, but that's about it. I am pretty sure, however, that leaving bits and parts of your car on the street can't be a good thing. Boston's streets have never been perfect, but after the extended periods of snow and frigid weather we had this winter, we have more potholes than I've seen in my ten-plus years in the city. Road crews have been out filling the most egregious examples, but it's impossible to keep so many miles of road in pristine shape. So sadly, it's not uncommon to see hubcaps and various car parts along the city's thoroughfares. The trick is to make sure they're not various parts from your car.
