Proven Guilty: An update to my previous thoughts on the topic
wardenferry419:
Good points, Foxed. Nice to hear from you again.

I'm not really sold on the time travel stuff yet, but this is a really interesting idea that I've never considered or seen before. Not sure I agree with the reason for doing it, but I like the concept a whole lot.
Does Harry bring the Beetle to Mike? Dang it, I just reread most of the series and I can't remember.

Murphy comes and sees the actual damage.
Theory doesn't fit.

--- Quote ---Grayson came ambling over to us. "Wrecker's on the way," he said. "What do we got here?"
"Hit and run," Murphy said.
Grayson lifted his eyebrows and eyed me. "Yeah? Looked to me like you got hit a couple of times. On purpose-like."

Furthermore the other cop comments on the damage.
Talby16:
--- Quote ---"You sure it was deliberate?"
"Yeah. But whoever it was, he wasn't a pro."
"Why do you say that?"
"If he had been, he'd have spun me easy. No idea he was there until he'd hit me. Could have bumped me into a spin before I could have straightened out. Flipped my car a few times. Killed me pretty good." I rubbed at the back of my neck. A nice, all-body ache was already spreading out into my muscles. "Isn't exactly the best place for it, either."

We know that the attack was not very successful. Which means that it truly was an attack of opportunity as Murphy speculates or it has another purpose altogether. When you remove the chance of injury/death to Dresden, the attack only accomplished a few things. Chief among them is that it involved Murphy from the beginning. We do not know how long Harry would have waited to bring her in if she had not come to the scene of the wreck. My opinion is that a third party (Mab or future Harry possibly) wanted to make sure Murphy was helping Dresden from the get go. Either to ensure the operation's success, ensure Harry's survival, or to move Murphy into a new position on the board.
