my car was vandalized last night on Highland

[an-art-worker.livejournal.com]

So my car was vandalized last night on Highland - one of the rear windows smashed out with something like a hammer. It looked liked a bullet hole but there was no exit wound... I was parked one door down/same side of the street as the music store that was ripped off a few weeks ago. Hot corner? Bust stop (hmm... I meant bus stop but bust stop is kind of cute). Do vandals take the bus? The window was on the street/driver's side. No entry and nothing else damaged.

It's annoying, of course but I have insurance. I think what bothers me more is the big chill of that sort of stuff around here. Guess I crank up my street sense. Along with calling the traffic dept. to make more sweeps of my street (one over from Highland) to ticket the non-permit cars, the park n' riders and the long term storage cars. It's grown a lot worse lately - I see people come by in the morning, dump their cars and head for the T, often with luggage. One car was parked in front of my house for 5 days.

Let them park on Highland... ;-)

(oh - while I was discovering my busted window, there was a herd (gaggle?) of police in front of Magpie/the hair place next to it. Don't know what was going down but they were there for quite a while - long enough for me to walk to my insurance office, phone in a report and return).

So....how hilarious is this: my window is busted out and my resident parking sticker is on a small panel window just to the rear of it on the drivers side. Last night I put a tarp over the busted window, closing the door on it because of the chance of rain.

This morning I went out to discover that I had been ticketed for non-resident parking: the tarp was covering the parking permit.

Hopefully they will be civilized and not make me jump through hoops to cancel the ticket (it's 40 bucks!!). I've got the tarp scene on record with my trusty digital camera.

Silly stuff.
