valleywag.com — A San Francisco woman reported her Honda Civic stolen to the San Francisco police. A few weeks later, she got a parking citation in the mail for her stolen car. Then she got another. And another. In total, her car got ticketed 29 times while being listed as stolen.

The meter maids in San Francisco are not part of the Police Department, they work for the city with police protection. They don't run plates, they just collect money for themselves./fixed

Damn, you are a serious f**ktard.What a perfect example of how the right wing attracts assh**es like s**t attracts flies.(Yeah yeah, i can hear the response. "Then why aren't YOU a right winger". I'm an assh**e with a brain and a soul.)

but it takes a week to the ticket notice... it's because you haven't appeared to pay, so that's pretty bad.. and your car is long gone.

Umm... then the reference wouldn't make any sense.

In many cases that'd be true, but in the article it says that they drove around the places where the car had been ticketed and that's how they ended up finding it.

Sad as it may seem, many of the City employees have a double digit I.Q. The DPT Officer aka Meter Maid, should have noticed all the tickets and tagged it for 37A (City code for being parked in one location for more than 72 hours). Another option would have been to contact the local Police District Abandoned Auto Officer and have them come out. It takes a matter of seconds to run the plates through their computer system and realize the vehicle was stolen.When my vehicle was stolen this past Monday, it took the officers less than two hours to find. Unfortunately, the robber & carjacker stole everything from my trunk.. camera equipment, electronics, usual kinda stuff, not to mention robbing me of all my money before he demanded i get the F*** out of the car. If it means anything to you... San Francisco really sucks!
