Writing on cars?? What is it?

well if someone wrote on your car, and it was not you it was probably vandalism.

the only quasi related thing i can think of is that your car was towed as a relocation tow and the 3 to R was a note so the tow truck knew where to put it back.

where you parked near the Fringe shooting on 11th ave and 16th st by any chance?

coned and verizon have also been known to do that when they need to access a manhole.

If you're seeing it on other cars it's probably because they were recently towed and that stuff is a bitch to get off. My car still has some residue from the last time it was towed which was well over three months ago *yeah I'm lazy and don't wash my car.* Mine has always been on the passenger front window, though.

Wow, I never knew that, I see signs on cars all the time for sale. Even did it myself a couple of years ago when selling my car! You learn something new every day!
