Dear Mr. Cleary:
In the beginning of January, my son received a ticket for having an abandoned vehicle.
The car was not abandoned. He had gone on vacation with a friend up to the Poconos and the tire had gone flat in his absence.
When he returned, upon find the ticket, he fixed the tire and re-registered his car as the time had come to do so.
Last week, he called the Court and was told he didn\’t have to show up on February 27, but had to pay a $45.00 fine.
In the interim, the tire had gone flat again…..and he awoke today to find an abandoned sticker on his car and learned he had to pay another $100 fine.
The car was never abandoned; it\’s in front of the house except when it has to be moved for street cleaning on Thursday.
I think the police are being a bit too heavy-handed in deciding which vehicles get stickers.
