dude, we get the freakin point.....we don't care anymore.

Good job w/ the enforcing the law business but we don't need to read about it more than once or twice.
I think it would be best if he just updated his old thread regarding this issue


Good idea Red Dawn.

Woo hoo!

It's a little funny. The last thread hasn't even cooled down yet, and here we go again.

BTW, I'm all for you calling it in. It's a matter of public safety, keeping the hydrant both accessible, and readily visible to any crew that might need to spot the nearest hydrant right now.

Dude contact a local tow truck company and tell them to cut you in on the profit. They rake in cash when they tow cars off. People have to PAY to get them back. If you go talk to the manager at some place and let him know that EVERY WEEKEND you can give him a call with a car for him to pick up he'll probably give you like $10/car.

Ain't much but it's free cash for making a phone call.

Serves them right for parking in front of a fire hydrant when EVERYONE know's you're not supposed to.

While you're out there, cover the hydrant in gasoline or oil and set it on fire.

How would they put it out?!?!?

Sorry. :p

Public safety's good and all, but it's not this guys car that's gonna get smashed when the firetrucks come, so what's the big deal? ;)

That sucks, dude... you should put a sign up identifying the sign and stating that the police will be called if someone parks in front of it.

I support you in what you're doing - I think it's the right thing to do.

Hell, you should just startup a towing buisness. Sounds like you've got good job security :D

the question is: Do you or do you not pleasure yourself as the cops arrive, or do you wait for the tow truck to start pulling the car away?

Better call the tow guys to move your house so you won't have this problem anymore. :p

Better yet next time he parks there, light your house on fire. That way you get the satisfaction of seeing his windows get broken by the firemen.

Tools or not, when my house is on fire, I want the fire dept. to have complete unrestricted access to the nearest fire hydrant. There is a need to let these "perfectly good parking spots go to waste." Which is why we have laws about parking in front of fire hydrants.

Agreed. If someone blocked a hydrant in my neighborhood, I would first try to find the person and ask them to move their car. If I couldn't locate them, I would also call it in, but it's hardly worth a thread in OT, let alone two.

Were you expecting a merit badge? Just do it, and be done with it.

Week 2: same as above, except two vehicles were involved and they were towed after I called in.

This week: There's a vehicle parked yet again and I am about to call it in.

I sure hope I don't have to call the police every Friday night when I get home :|

You are one bored person. Don't you really have anything better to do? People like you pi$$ me off like hell.
