Dyna, The vehicle you're referring to is still registered to someone in Brooklyn Park. Isn't nice to see someone moving back to the city from a suburb? :)
What you should do is call is the parking enforcement department. After the tabs are 3 months overdue, the vehicle can be towed. I would also call calling the city health department. As for the MPD's traffic squad, to the best of my knowledge most of the unit hasn't been doing traffic enforcement. They've been working areas like Jordan and Philips to help deal with the extra calls that summer brings in those neighborhoods.

It's residents arise about noon, relieve themselves in the neighbors yards, and then walk up the block for another long days work in the drug and prostitution market at 4th Street and 25th and beyond 'til the wee hours of the morning, occasionally returning to smoke some funny stuff they have a hard time keeping lit. They crash out across the seats again after the bar rush is over around 3 am or later. The plates on this car/flophouse are CVE628, and the tabs expired May 2004. Now, I know our MPD traffic squads are busy helping enforce the car pool lane restrictions on Interstate 394 and keeping the speeds down on our 6 lane bridges over the big river, but how is it possible for a car and it's inhabitants to remain on our streets and in "business" for nearly 2 months after the grace period on it's registration expired? Again, I know MPD is busy, and it's real nice to see the Mobile Command Unit parked on 26th Avenue in Jordan along with a few squads. That may explain why Jordan has gone a week without a murder and the gangbangers are down here in Hawthorne. In fact, next to the MPD's RV in Jordan looked like a nice safe place to set up my tent for a while, but I didn't want to trample the flowers in the community garden so I'll camp elsewhere if things don't quiet down here in Hawthorne. In the meantime, I suggest we set up a betting pool on when this mobile disorderly house is finally hauled off to the impound lot- for charity, of course. My money's on the 3rd snow emergency next winter... REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list. 2.
