If your state has a similar law, the authorities were not doing their job. SEC. 1202. Stopping, standing, or parking prohibited in specified places ~~~~~ 2.

It don't rain much in the Mojave Desert. Why take/steal the wiper blade? For 39 cents, you could've bought two Idaho potatoes and stuffed them up her tail pipe. |

The problem I run into is people who scream obscenities at me when I try to apologize for bumping into them in line or some such. I don't have a backup alarm on my trousers and I'll have people get right up behind me in a queue and I can hit them in the face with my elbow if I'm not careful. I have to be very careful when turning around or stepping back because I could knock a little person to the floor. The bad part, is some of them think it was done on purpose. :-( TDD |

I know "a guy" who hit a parked car in a parking lot. Lots of people saw him do it. He went back into his car a wrote a nice note to the owner, folded it in half and put it under the wiper. The same people who saw him hit the car saw him write the note. He then got in his car and drove away. The note said "I'm sorry I hit your car. There's lots of people watching me so I figured I'd better write a note. Once again, I'm sorry." I never actually did this, but just heard about it from a friend who heard it from his cousin's hairdresser's gardener. |

People intent on having their picnic and watching the fireworks show would park anywhere, including in our driveways, even when we homeowners were ordering them to GTFO. We'd just phone a towing service. Towing companies never pass up an opportunity to make their hefty profits. And it's fun watching mom and dad's reaction when, hours later, they and their whiny kids suddenly realize their car is GONE. Serves 'em right! |

I started covering their tags with duct tape and I imagine quite a few wound up face down on the pavement with cops pointing guns at them. I told my cop friend what I had done and after laughing himself silly, told me that a traffic ticket for an obscured tag was quite expensive. So whenever anyone pulled up to my place and asked if it was OK to park there I said it would cost them a minimum of $300.00. :-) We used to have that problem when our city's Fourth of July celebration took place at the lake across the street from us. People intent on having their picnic and watching the fireworks show would park anywhere, including in our driveways, even when we homeowners were ordering them to GTFO. We'd just phone a towing service. Towing companies never pass up an opportunity to make their hefty profits. And it's fun watching mom and dad's reaction when, hours later, they and their whiny kids suddenly realize their car is GONE. Serves 'em right! Why is it that assholes are so surprised when they get their ass handed to them. :-) TDD |

Case of the stolen snow shovel
An old towel applied to the windshield with some water, or over the door
seams, and allowed to sit works well, too. Or just a squirt of water into the keyholes ....................... SuperGlue works good for that, too, but that's a bit of overkill. That's usually reserved for the unfaithful, or those who visit them. Better if the car is unlocked, and you can get to the ignition ................ I never actually did this, but just heard about it from a friend who heard it from his cousin's hairdresser's gardener. Then there's the cop car being chained to the fire hydrant in "American Graffitti." Steve Heart surgery pending? Read up and prepare. Learn how to care for a friend.

Case of the stolen snow shovel

"Oren" wrote in message ... Captured on home surveillance camera. The Crime, The Revenge and The Reaction: video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkAJ-CQvkwA Great! Many years ago (mid 60s) my brother and I clear a space in front of our house to park. A lady from a block away took the spot. We just took buckets of water and poured it over the car until coated. She did not return. People get killed in the cities for taking a shoveled spot. |
