I was just getting dressed for work this morning and received this notice.Screenshot_20190114-081204.webp
That was exactly where I park every night. I never left the house so fast! Fortunately it wasn't me... but talk about making me panic.
 
You park 900ft away from where you live? I don't think I could live in NYC. Can you see your car from your place?
 
I cannot. Not a lot of choice of where to park unless I pay 300 per month for a private spot.

You have to do it like we did when we lived in the actual City.

I moved to the city 6 years ago and you get used to it. Me and NYC have a love-hate relationship. Love the money and hate everything else! I would much prefer living in the country.

New Yorkers would not stand for that. You would find your lawn chairs destroyed. I've seen more than a few fights for parking spots. Fortunately I only need a parking spot over night and Queens boulevard is usually a safe place to park. Very active even at 3 am.

It was a common respect to items saving spots. You did the work to clean out the spot it was your for the claim. But yes if you touched the lawn chairs it usually ended with the red and blue lights showing up.
 
LOL! The good old NYC parking spot saver. As said, if you did the work to clean out your car, you know you want that spot later when you get back.
 
Good luck with that! I don't see anyone remaining civil when parking outside the domicile is the most limited commodity in the neighborhood. I can understand fights breaking out over a lot less than "in your face" parking spot staked claims.

You mean you dont have a warm covered garage ? Holy crap I coudnt sleep at night knowing that...:) Wash
 
You guys are making me soooo grateful to live in a moderate climate w/a 2-car attached garage for my one lonely car!

But back to the OP, my area has had a flurry of car break-ins, as well as stolen tailgates and catalytic converters. We had a broken SUV window on the street right by our complex driveway yesterday. Despite this well-publicized crime wave, I still walk past cars parked on the street that have laptops or expensive equipment sitting in the seats, and my neighbors still fill their 2-car garages with junk not worth a dime while leaving their cars in the street. The logic escapes me.

Whoo! Next thing I'll be yelling at kids to keep off the lawn.

Neighbors across the street have a jammed garage door, behind which is a regular morass of junk. The door allows feral bunnies to enter and exit at will; somewhere back in that junk is a warren. These bunnies roam the neighborhood, usually after dark. Cute things. Not very little either! I now wonder if the "kitty prints" I saw on my freshly washed Stinger last fall were actually bunny prints. They were muddy, which suits a rabbit but not a cat. Fortunately, initial curiosity with the pristine car did not have any follow up visits. *cross fingers*
 
Man I’d hate that! Where I live can leave car unlocked. Biggest worry I have are mice breaking into car. Lol!

I'd have the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch ready, just in case they came back. Rabbits can be vicious!

No way. Hand grenades hit everything. :eek: I have a .410, which is overkill. I've thought of getting a pellet rifle. But so far the bunnies are not doing any harm of any kind that I can see. If I ever see muddy prints on my car again, I will definitely rethink this.
