  • Big, ugly truck

    I live in an up-scale neighborhood a little ways from poorer neighborhood. You get to my place by going through that poor neighborhood, making a turn, and then heading up a tree-lined street to a T-shaped intersection. My house is right there at the T-shaped intersection...you see it coming up the street.

    Recently, the people in one of the corner houses moved out and rented their house. One of the renters owns a huge, hideous, ugly, graffitti-covered truck which he parks right in front of my house, sometimes for days on end. Now when you leave the poor neighborhood and head up the tree-lined street, all you can see is that awful truck, sitting like a gigantic metallic cockroach right in front of my place. It gives one the impression that you're still in the poor neighborhood--which come to think of it, has nothing as bad as that truck.

    Short of murder or arson, how can I get rid of that thing?

    Call the cops. If it doesn't get moved it's considered abandoned.

          This might well work. My best guess is this is not the type of guy who hurries down to the Dept. of Motor Vehicles to let them know he's moved. Plus the road leading up to my treeline street is sometimes used for stripping stolen cars. I think the vehicle has to be there for a minimum of three days for it to be considered abandoned but that shouldn't be a sticking point.

          Zop I thought of that. But he parks against some bushes, so I could only paint the driver's side.

            Well, you said no murder or arson, that leaves only one option.

              I say you got it made. Now that truck instead of your house will take the hit if someone forgets to brake at the intersection.

                I had this same problem once.

                A guy kept parking his ugly semi (with trailer!) next to my place. I called the police, they said there was nothing they could do. So I left a note on his windshield asking him politely to never park there again. I mentioned the fact the truck tires were really expensive to replace.

                The truck was never seen again.

                  LOL!

                  I think the cop thing can work, if the truck has been left there for a while.

                      Yeah, for a union man, he sure seems to want to be elite!

                          So poor people cannot park anywhere they want to as long as it's legal?

                            Some guy kept parking his truck in my parking spot, because it was convenient and because he was a jerk. So I took my crossbow and some steel-tipped bolts and plugged a few right through the driver's side door.

                            He never parked there again either.
