The San Diego police can’t stop crime but if you park on the street for over 72 hours their all over it.
You tax dollars at work.
Now every two days I have to move my truck and park it in front of someone’s house.
Being retired there are times that I don’t leave the house for a few days.
The joys of living in the city.

How about when someone goes on vacation? What leave a note on the car?

Hey thief, i am not home take what ever you want and start with this car!!!!!!

just a couple thoughts. I suspect they can't stop crime because they are not allowed to and if they arrest anyone they are just let go. I also am thinking this notice you got was in response to some busy body filing a complaint that you were parked there to long. I am wondering if this move your truck every two days is in response to all the homeless vehicles that are parked and lived out of for month on end. Up our way they had a similar law and all it did was make the homeless move their Mobil drug dens one car length back and forth every couple days. But then some judge ruled if they called their truck or rv their home then they couldn't be towed which resulted in them being able to stay put as long as they like. Of course law abiding citizens can be ticketed and towed if they don't move their car. I don't blame the police they are just doing what they are told most police would like to be able to do their job and go after criminals and see them prosecuted but that is not the world we live in out on the west coast.

Yes the woman on the corner house was the one who complained and I wasn’t even parked in front of the house but on the side street.
My neighbor down the street also who is retired got the same notice and he was parked in front of his house. So yes they patrol the streets looking for parking violations.
If the police are worried about homeless people parking on the streets all they have to do is run the plates and see who owns the vehicle but it’s much easier to just slap on notice on the windshield.
I now feel really safe in the neighborhood knowing that SDPD are patrolling the streets looking for parking violations.
I asked another woman down the street if she mined if I parked my truck on the side street by her house and she said no problem. The truck has to be moved 1/10 of a mile from where it was last parked in that 72 hour period according to the notice.
Isn’t life grand, rant over.

I don’t know Plum, I guess you’re might have to give a key to a neighbor and ask if they can move your vehicle for you while your gone.
On the bright side I now know that my truck is safe because SDPD is keeping an eye on it. lol

Trust your neighbor? Doesn't sound like the corner house gal will get your key.

Very true. I saw that a lot in Oregon. It don't happen here. We pay taxes to the center of the street/road here and nobody makes us move our personal vehicles off the street/road. BUT we don't allow the homeless communities like Oregon does either. When someone needs help the community helps them. If they're just drug addicted bums we tell the to move to Oregon where they will be catered to. If they don't leave we move em and law enforcement helps.👍

that doesn't even make since, so if you park your truck out front of your house go to the store when you come back you have to park 1/10th of a mile away? I am sure there are some loop holes you can find for example if it says after 72 hrs parked in one place it has to be moved 1/10 of a mile away then after 48 hrs move it 15 feet and then it wouldn't had been parked 72 hrs in the same place and after another 2 days move it back that way you will never reach the 72 hrs. or maybe if you see how the law is actually written if it says you just have to move the vehicle 1/10 of a mile and not relocate it 1/10th of a mile after 72 hrs drive around the block a couple times and repark it in the same place, and you can point out you did move it and they can look at the odometer to verify if they want. If I were in one of my vindictive moods I would park it in front of the ladies house who complained and then just move it around to the other side of her property and back and forth a couple times so she would appreciate it being in front of your own house

Larry M Loc: North Clairmount, San Diego

Thanks, but that wouldn’t work out.
1/10 of a mile is about 500+ feet. I’ll just have to keep moving it around.
Right now where I have it parked the woman there said that she doesn’t have a problem with it so that’s good. I just have to play the 72 hour game for now.

That’s total BS. I know what you’re talking about though. We bought a really nice little Toyota Camry. 2000 model with 64,000 miles on it from a old client of mine in Oregon. They were told they could leave a vehicle in front of their house if they didn’t move it, at least twice a week. They have a two car garage and bought a new Subaru Outback. My clients wife already had a small SUV she parked in the garage. They bought the new outback for a family vehicle since their family had expanded and my client still used the Camry to commute to work. The problem occurred when he left it outside while they went on a two week vacation and one of the neighbors complained about the Camry sitting outside where they had to see it for more than a week and it hadn’t been moved. He just decided to avoid the hassle and get rid of his work car and drive the new outback to work and back instead. Great deal for us. $1700.00 for basically a new car that gets 34 mpg on the highway and 30 around town👌. He said he would have had to park it inside any time he wasn’t going to use it every other day. But two blocks down the street there’s a group of homeless bums living in there old motorhomes, camp trailers and tents with lawn chairs, bbq grills and trash all over the place and nobody does a thing about that. Same town, same neighborhood. You’re right about that west coast stuff. So nice to be away from it👍

So many Karens out there Randy.
We get 32 mpg with the RAV4.

Catfish hunter Loc: Riggins idaho (Paradise)

Very true Larry.
I heard those RAV4s were decent little rigs. I’ve worn out 3 Toyota pickups and that’s no easy task. Over 300,000 on all three and two were still running good when I sold them. The third one had 360,000 miles on it and broke the original timing chain. It had a chain and not a belt and when that broke so did most of everything else. Lol. I sold it to a Mexican guy in Oregon for $1000.00 and he was stoked to get it. Regular cab short box two wheel drive I used for a work rig. I drove those little Toyota pickups because changing oil and putting gas in them was all they needed. 30plus mpg and tougher than nails. He completely restored it and made a low rider out of it. Looked really nice when he got it done.

Larry M Loc: North Clairmount, San Diego

My tundra is a 2000 V8 with the towing package and only has around 130,000 miles on it.
At 100,000 miles had the belt or chain and a new water pump installed.
