PhillyKev 0 #1 January 31, 2003 Haven't driven my car in 3 weeks (walk to work and take cabs everywhere else) really only use it to visit my family and get to the dropzone. It was parked about a block away and I check on it once a week. Well, got a notice in the mail today that my car was impounded for parking in a no stopping zone. This no stopping zone is 2 blocks from my house and a block and a half from where my car was parked. No idea how it got there, or what condition it is in. The impound lot is closed so I can't even find out until tomorrow. What sucks is I just payed it off and was planning to sell it and buy a beater. I'm actually pretty calm about it right now, but I'm anxious to see if it was fucked up or not. This is whacked! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoobieCootie 0 #3 January 31, 2003 I forget where the hell I park my car sometimes. Usually the morning after a night of heavy drinking. Sometimes I even wonder how the hell I got there in the first place. And each time, I'm just thankful I don't wake up next to ugly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tee 0 #4 January 31, 2003 I hope all is well when you pick it up. I went out one morning to get in my car and it wasn't in my parking stall. I looked down the block to see if it was there (as if it would have rolled away or something ) then I finally woke up enough to realize it was stolen! The police found it a couple of weeks later with 8 parking tickets on it. I guess they didn't think to check if it was stolen when they were writing the 2nd ticket. tee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sebazz1 2 #6 January 31, 2003 That blows dude. Do you have insurance against theft? I had a car that was broken into and gutted long time ago. It's a horrible feeling. Good thing you are taking it calmly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhillyKev 0 #7 January 31, 2003 Well, got the car back. Wasn't stolen. The stupid ass parking authority relocated my car because they were shooting a movie on the street it was parked on. They relocated it to a no stopping zone. Then they ticketed it and towed it for being parked in a no stopping zone!!! What the fuck...and now I'm calling all over the world trying to get someone to put that in writing (3 people have already confirmed it verbally) so that I can appeal the $175 I had to pay to get it back. Not to mention a lost day of work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #10 January 31, 2003 No idea...it was relocated on the 23rd. The last I checked on it before that was the 17th. I never drive the damn thing. Only reason I haven't sold it yet is because I owed more than I could get for it, but just paid it off so I'm going to get rid of it. Hell, over the past month it's cost me $300 to own the damn thing between insurance and this fiasco and the last time I drove it, besides back from the impound lot, was on Christmas day.

PhillyKev 0 #15 August 21, 2003 Yeah, that was fun. Me: I spoke to Officer McGinnis on 1/30 who told me that my car was relocated from Clinton St to the 500 block of S. 10th St. so they could film Hack. Hearing Examiner: That whole block is no parking. Me: Yeah, I know. That's why I wouldn't park there and that's why they ticketed and towed me after they moved it there. Hearing Examiner: Do you have any proof? Me: I asked the officer for a printout, she told me she didn't have any way to print it out and that it would be in your computer records. Hearing Examiner: Tell them that I requested the printout and they have to give it to you. Can't do anything without proof. I put a note in your file that if you bring that the tickets should be purged, but you'll have to file an appeal. ------------------- I go to the police station. Me: Can I have a printout of cars that were moved on 1/25 from Clinton St? I know you can't usually do that but the Hearing Examiner requested it. Officer: No problem, I can get that for you. Sorry, it looks like they purge the records after 6 months. You should have asked for this sooner. ---------------------- Next stop....city councilman.

Got it back the first time after a long process of replacing everything on it, the body frame was fine, just everything inside/tires/etc were gone. After all that waiting around for 3 months or so, got it back and yep...25 days..i mean 25 friggin' days later...it got stolen again...ohhh I was pissed! They found it again, it was banged up and not worth fixing so got a nice fat check from insurance so I felt lil better but dang!

lawrocket 3 #20 August 21, 2003 Man, one reason I'm glad I am not in downtown Los Angeles anymore is that I dont' have to fight the movies, commercials, etc. that are filmed there. Every time I'd see those commercials, I would realize that it was those things that were, in major part, responsible for my being late to work and not having access to the parking lot. I still see these commercials (like with some dude actiing liek he's swimming on the GD I-110) and realize that I was stuck trying to get around that mess (yes, on a Sunday morning, but I had work to do). I hate what those shows do. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #22 August 22, 2003 they relocate cars all the time for street cleaning, snow removal, etc. They're supposed to put it within 2 blocks, which they did...they just put it in the no stopping zone. Freakin' retards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
