Well, hoping to read about a resolution, and hopefully in favor of Blake.

This kind of crap always annoys me as I've been screwed over once for having a tiny, less than an inch, of my back tire hanging over a very faded, and almost non existent red "fire line" car spot in my apartment complex and had my car towed. Friking $250 to get it back. Seen it happen to other people around here although it seems to have stopped because one old guy moved in recently and sits on his front porch all day long with a shotgun across his lap. I'm serious! He tells me every time he sees that f-ing tow truck guy come up to try and take someone's property, he walks up with that shotgun in hand and they take off.

Seriously wish that guy had been here when they towed my car.

that is the best thing i have read in a long time

I can't view anything after the post where he says he contacted some news stations. The next post cuts off mid-picture and the rest of the post is blank. I saw some others were having a similar issue- anyone else?

Same here, I had to just click and drag through the remainder of the thread, copy, then paste it into a blank text document. No pictures that way but at least you get to read what text is missing.

I was viewing with FireFox, but when I switched to IE the images and text came out fine for the last post he made. May not be the case for everyone else, but just an FYI.

It's a problem with Firefox. Something about the coding, I read about that on another forum.


Steve, you could also add that he looked at APS's contract and found they are in violation of it - all cars are supposed to get a warning first, not a boot. Once he called them on that, they started putting warning stickers on cars. Seems like they were milking the $140 tickets for all they were worth.

Unfortunately from what I have seen is the smaller the association the more wacko they get especially condo our townhouse association. It doesn't take much sometimes for some whackos to get on the board. The association where I live has 3,000+ units and all this crazy stuff doesn't seem to happen.

Cool, I say the OP should just go ahead and put that in the first post, and also emphasize that Blake never said "I won't pay."

*Head explodes*, he has a horrible grammar and spelling problem (where instead of were, sentences that just make little sense)

I love these threads....it reminds me of the thread about the guy who lost his Sidekick and found out who had it. This evokes the same kind of excitement.
