      I was wondering if anyone happened to see a car being towed at some point yesterday morning (Monday, Jan 12) some time between 7:30am and 12:30pm. It was parked in front of the on Sterling street right at Classon in a school zone (across from the church). My wife is a teacher there and forgot to put her teacher parking pass in the window. So we know it was parked illegally.

      It has not turned up in any of the police lots....so they said it was likely stolen. But they said the system was down all yesterday morning. I have this sinking feeling that the police towed it and some bonehead forgot to enter it in the computer.

      However, it is certainly possible that it was stolen. I just feel like it is possible that it was stolen by NYPD. Blue Honda Civic.

      Thanks.

      Towed. The "system" has been fucked up for quite some time (search for other threads and read our nightmares). Call, call and keep calling. Go down to the navy yard and talk to someone. It was parking illegally. It was towed.

      I didn't see a car towed yesterday, but did see someone towed this morning from in front of the boarded up vacant lot/construction site on Sterling Pl b/w Washington and Classon around 6.30 a.m. There was a car full of what I'm guessing were construction workers waiting, possibly to get into the lot to start work (I'm pretty sure the towed car was blocking their gateway, although no work has been done at that site for a while). It was a little way down the street from Elijah G. Stroud school.

      As expected, it was in fact in the navy yard. Some idiot entered my plate number wrong in the computer so they could never find it. I proposed this to them yesterday at the beginning of my 7 hour calling marathon, but they wouldn't hear of it.

      It took me calling with a phone on each ear to get someone to actually listen to me and figure out if my car was ACTUALLY there. Unbelievable... Thanks for the thoughts and help.

      What a horribly incompetent organization.....
