Annoyance Thursdays

So I am dedicating Thursdays as my complaint days. Yippie! So what do I have to cry about...Police.

I would like to know why there seriously is such a huge crime rate all over the country when we have lovely officers who just go around putting "warning" stickers on peoples cars? So the officer returns my call and says, "well, we had a complaint and when I came out to examine the issue I had noticed the car looks to be abandoned." "There were several signs of this that have lead me to believe the following... It is out of state and even though I called it in and the plates are all up to date and its not reported missing the car hasn't been moved in 3 weeks. It was parked on the side walk, and it is dirty." I couldn't believe my ears! Did the city of Chandler seriously give this man a job not to mention a gun?!

Number one: the car was NOT on the side walk! Maybe on the curved part of the curb it could have had one wheel on but it was NOT on the side walk or I would have had it moved. So lets not exaggerate my little coppie poo. No one likes a liar OR an over exaggerator which you seem to be.

Number two: It is dirty? I most have missed the memo and the law that says you can't have a dirty car. Note, my car hasn't been cleaned since I got here either. Ryan's car doesn't have mud or anything else on it that would indicate anything at all. Dirt from wind maybe but seriously? It is dirty? You think it is abandoned because it is dirty. That blows my mind.

Number three: The plates are out of state and you think it was abandoned because the plates are out of state? Yet the car checks out as someone has been paying to update the tags but it is in the wrong state.

So let me get this straight...A car in AZ or maybe just in Chandler can NOT have an out of states license plate on it or its considered stolen or abandoned. The car can NOT be dirty or else! Or else it is abandoned or stolen. The car must be parked perfectly or else? You got it, it is considered stolen or abandoned. Well city of Chandler you picked a real winner, he is sure to get an award for being the most intelligent cop this year, maybe ever. Now if I were a cop and it were me who got called out to a NICE neighborhood MY intelligence would not go right towards stolen. I would assume someone wouldn't steal a car from another state, drive it across country with gas prices being this high, then drive it to a nice neighbor hood and just leave it there. I mean cars with out of state plates draw attention so if I had stolen the car I am not going to drive it to a nice neighborhood to get caught. Also I would assume if someone steals a car they might take some of its parts, not just steal it for a joy ride across the country then dump it where people are going to find it. Then after I call in the tags and it checks out that the tags are up to date, all the stickers are and it hasn't been reported stolen I would probably assume they are visiting. I mean I pay the dues on my car and so I would notice if it were missing for a month now even if I didn't drive my car. Third, I would not assume because the car hasn't been washed since it has rained at least once a week for the past few weeks the car isn't stolen. I still can't believe he actually said that. And finally, you try and park a stick shift car that isn't yours. You might be a little off as well.

He then proceeds to tell me if I don't use the car often I should make a mental note and move it a few feet every 48 hours. Will do officer intelligent. I will do whatever I can to move a car that I can't drive to the other side of my driveway, a few feet every few days to make your job a little easier and keep you off those dangerous streets. How about you tell the stupid neighbor who is obviously bored and NOT minding their own business to get a job and stop bothering Chandlers finest with a car not being used and parked in front of a house in a nice neighborhood. I have never heard of moving a car a few feet just for the sake of it and give cops something to do out here where the crime rate is obviously so high it is keeping these men very busy. Good freakin greif, lucky the neighbor and the cop don't live and work in the city of brotherly love. All those cars abandoned and some that you just not sure if they will even hold together if you were to even look at it would make them have a heart attack! Not to mention I don't think the neighbor would be alive after complaining about something like that to a cop in Philadelphia.
