Buncha Savages in This Town

[Kingston]

After my plane landed from yet another wonderful business trip, I hauled my tired ass over to the airport parking lot and started to look for my car.
After the usual disorientation (Did I park in G4 or F2? Or was it in the "Itchy" lot or the "Scratchy" lot), I found my car.

Some jackass had broken my license plate holder (it's metal, not plastic) and had tried to rip my license plate off!
I checked the car and there wasn't any other damage, nothing was missing, but the rear plate is folded like a freakin' taco.
My guess is Mr. Genius stole a car and wanted to steal my plate so he wouldn't get pulled over.
I bent it back (mostly), but it still pissed me off.

That's normally the reason why. Airport parking is just about the best place to get license plates too.

 

[tobby4]

fuck that... sorry to hear it.

 

[CWS]

That stinks. At least he didnt get it.

 

[AZsteelman]

the asswipes in this world...damn them!

 

[cvm4]

Crooks these days. That'd piss me off too.

 

[calebnobbe2003]

That sucks bro!!

 

[crossbow]

Airport parking is the best place to get about anything car-related.

 

[Black Dog]

That's a bitch. I hate leaving my car in long-term parking and worry that something will happen to it the whole time I'm away.

 

[Kingston]

I guess I should be thankful that mine wasn't the car he stole to replace the plates on. Mine's too crappy a car to steal.

 

[jrohrer]

yeah...that sucks bro!! luckily i live close to family...and I have family in enough major cities that i've never had to leave a car in long-term.

although...i've never flown for business either, so I guess my reference isn;t all that great.

regardless...at least they didn;t get the plate, and your car was fine else where.

Very sorry to hear about your brush with the many a$$hats of the world. Stick with those Randall Graves philosophies. I'm glad it wasn't worse.

I'm the same way.

Do they have security cameras in that area?

 

[Headbanger]

Which city are we referring to here? Just so we can be more aware.

 

[williegstyles]

Thats my thought...They should have security cameras but you would first have to know where you were parked so they can zoom in on the creeps.

Long term parking is the pits!

 

[Kingston]

This was in Oakland, which is usually not a problem, but they've had a ton of construction lately.
Lots of badly lit areas and a generally bad temporary layout.
I only use long term parking for two reasons:
1. Usually I'm on business, and I'm not paying for it
2. With Oakland, it's a short minute or two walk from your car to security.

That does suck.

I came back from a trip once and some one used tin snips to cut the corner of the plate with my new tags right off the car.

 

[jwintosh]

two words: job security! it does suck though....
