Parking Thieves

[judecorp]

I was gone for TEN MINUTES to drive Jen to the JFK/UMASS T and during that time, someone stole my clean parking space.

Aah, welcome back to The Dot. Time to put a big Rubbermaid bin in the trunk to guard the parking space. (And yes, I am One Of Those People^TM.)

Hmmmm... I grew up in the Boston area, and my guess is the response up there would, essentially, leave you without a Rubbermaid bin for future use.

Unless Bostonians have gone soft in the past six or seven years! =)

I was amazed when I first saw people staking out their parking spots - seems to be a popular (albeit officially illegal) event in the Lehigh Valley area...

I admit that I was amazed by the phenomenon the first time I ever visited Boston. I didn't grow up too far from here but we had a driveway so I guess it wasn't a big deal.

And yeah, it's illegal, but so many people do it that nothing ever happens. It's not really traceable, either - unless people start slashing tires or something.

I wouldn't put a /good/ bin out there... we have so many junky ones and milk cartons and broken garbage cans. You know, the standard fare.

There's a house near WPI. When parking starts to fill up, they move their cars from the driveway to in front of the house because they don't like people parking in front of their house.

Would you like to see my Hubris? It's really big.
