> So, what is the whole story? Do you have an unfriendly  nosey  neighbour
who complained to someone in authority? Who even knew the tire was low and the 
battery dead?

Actually Randy, no. All of my neighbors are very cool with the live and let 
live philosophy. I keep my property up, however I drive older, rust belt cars. 
Some can be quite unattractive at times, but are mechanically sound. The code 
enforcement officer in my town hasn't been able to enforce much in the last 
eighteen months because of the government reaction to a virus. So, eighteen 
months of pent up overzealous enforcement has been unleashed.

As I stated earlier, I procrastinated on getting plates, and that was the 
primary cause. The mail is slow however, and they arrived today, after the cars 
were gone. They are and were technically legal. Without running the plate, the 
officer on hand wouldn't know that. My son informed him they were legal, but 
Barney Fife wouldn't have it. I am grateful I was not home. The situation would 
have escalated very quickly.

I am off for the next three months. Target one on my mission list is the only 
emissions standard in the state of Indiana. Never underestimate the power of an 
extremely passionate man, with too much time on his hands.
