    *#@! parking "enforcement"

    Took the Land Cruiser to Pep Boys to have the AC serviced as I may end up in any number of states and want to be able to use my warranty if it does not sell. I was followed in the LS which we parked in front. Checked the signs nothing but an anti gridlock law warning.

    We go in, 5 minutes later come out to a freaking ticket. The guy is there so I tell him I am not illegally parked, I point to the sign that I am parked under and he has the nerve to say the parking sign is almost 1/4 mile away at Overland Bl! For those familiar I was at the Pico & Overland store in W.L.A. and it is a very long block.

    Upon closer investigation it appears the parking sign was stolen but I freaking did not take it. I point this out to the guy and he says do you see any other parked cars? This was at 9am, I thought I was lucky. I say no just yours (he was behind my car) he says something like he can park illegally so I say "then here is your ticket" & I put it under HIS wiper. He starts screaming at me and I just smile, laugh and walk away. I figure I shared the aggrivation.

    I went back after getting my camera and took these pictures. When the ticket comes in the mail I'll see how busy I am, what the fine is and decide if my time is worth that amount. No way a judge will uphold this ticket when there was no sign but it will depend on what is going on at that time. I'll most likely just pay it.

        When cars block the intersection then the light turns red and opposing traffic can't go on their green light.

              I got a better parking ticket story. last year we had the road closed to compleatly redo the water, sewer, storm sewer, road and curb. We were getting down to last few weeks and had the 1st course of pavment down but the road was still closed all the signs were still up it was still verry clear it was closed. I get to work pull up in front of the yard boss tell me to get in the truck we had to go across town to get some shit and I parked on the wrong side of the street big deal raod was closed. Well we come back 4 hours later I got a ticket, got the same damm thing 2 days latter, I called the city about it 10 times and they didnt care had to go through the head city engineer to get them to wave it. That all took till this summer in september before the state collections department sent me a letter saying all was better.

                  My friend, aren't you parked in front of a red curb?

                  But also, using the same method, isn't that a parking meter?

                  Now I'm confused.

                    From where I am standing the angle looks like I am in the red but I am not.

                    Red in front, red in back clear where I am parked .25 cents in the meter.

                    Ticket was for NO PARKING 7am-10am Tuesday Street Cleaning, which would be fine except that the sign ain't there:

                    What do they expect, you go with the post whisperer to see what sign SHOULD BE THERE?????

                      Ticket stories, eh? I was at a parking meter, sleeping in the drivers seat. I got a ticket, but I fought it saying I was awake reading my book. Not only was the officer dumb enough to say he didn't check to see if anyone was in the car first, I got lucky and got away with it. :)

                        How's LB? A friend of a friend was killed last week crossing Ocean by a Police Cruiser. Be careful.

                          It's fucking weird that you mention that cuz just last week, there was a body on the side near the curb of Ocean Blvd. It was a lady. I'm gettin weirded out too cuz you mentioned that 'friend of a friend' being hit by a Police Cruiser. That was the same story I heard about the lady on the side of the street.

                          Anyway, Long Beach is chill. Are you near UCLA?
