they bargained for when they looked out at the pool one morning.<\/p>\n<p>This is because a Lexus was sitting at the bottom of it, after a driver crashed through their garden wall.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;We woke up to an awful noise and looked outside and a car was in the pool,&quot; said resident 16-year-old Janelle Diaz.<\/p>\n<p>The teenager went on to note it has been a standing joke in the family for a while that someone may end up doing something similar because their wall has been hit before.<\/p>\n<p>It is believed the driver &ndash; who has been named as Modesto Cabral &ndash; was under
