Someone painted my tires...

[SAMI]

So the city isn't stoked that I park my Cruiser on the street apparently. I drive it on the weekends, and park in in the same spot on the street. I could see how it might seem as though it hasn't moved in a month or more.

Anyways, they marked my tires in relation to the spot it was sitting in, and left a warning of some sort. It said I was in violation of city code because I was storing a vehicle on the street, and that it would be impounded tomorrow (I assume if it was found in the same spot)..

So, as long as I move the truck, I should be ok right?

I think you should copy that mark with the same color paint in multiple locations on the tires they marked and see what they do then. :greg:

Thats wierd they just didn't give you a ticket.

 

[SAMI]

I should've called the police to report vandalism to my vehicle..

 

[Bear T]

I've had problems with this same issue. I just moved the truck back and forth a foot every night. Supposedly any vehicle left on the street for more than 24 hrs, is "in storage" on the street, and is illegal. But if it moves, then its just parked. blah blah blah,

I think you should mark the street every foot. don't want to make your tire look funny.

Are you in the city of Salt Lake City? If so here is their law, as far as I can sort out all of their parking laws.

Rotate the marked tires to the other side. Or flip it around and park it facing the other way of the street

 

[Brian P]

Parking enforcement would probably ticket him for parking in the wrong direction.
Jason did they paint the tires? or just where the tires were?

 

[SAMI]

They actually marked the tire, as well as the street.

 

[mesha]

Just bump the starter every couple days. I would call and talk to them so they know it is moving.

 

[ricsrx]

Jason i didnt know you had a Cruiser, and I am so glad i moved out of the city, I still have to go thru south jordan to get to Riverton

 

[Stephen]

I say call them and inform them that the vehicle does move and then demand that they come and take the paint off the tires. If they don't comply, send them a receipt for the cost of getting the paint removed. Follow up every week on the receipt and inform them that it will be sent to collections after a month of failing to pay.

 

[waynehartwig]

Remove the paint yourself from the road and tires

 

[cruiseroutfit]

You can park it here. $50 a month (you pay) and I get to drive it whenever I want and use it for parts when needed

Seriously though I do need to pull some measurements off of a 55 next time your out this way.

Salt Lake gets a major portion of it's budget from parking fines
They give out tickets as fast and often as they can.
You can also be ticketed for parking on your lawn in Salt Lake.

Indeed they do. I once got a fine for parking in my own driveway. The rear bumper was overhanging the sidewalk

I took pictures of it and blew them up. Went down to enforcement and got the ticket dismissed.

Follow the paint LEO home and park it in front of his house for awhile
