Tow the line

After Fairfax County cops let abandoned motor scooters stay on the local street for months and months, I wasn’t too surprised that this junker with North Carolina plates wasn’t touched, also for months.

I mean, it was parked for months before the plates expired in June of last year, but no tickets appeared on the windscreen until just a few weeks ago.

I guess once you start the process by logging a ticket in your system, there has to be some sort of follow-up; either the ticketee pays the fine or you have to keep slapping more paper on the car.

Finally, this weekend, I noticed this:

Please appreciate that the cop chose the “take action in 15 days”—the longest time slot available on the form—before they have to follow up by hauling the thing away.
