Thread: How to lock a car

It's probably parked in front of "their" personal piece of Cavendish Rd

Just as well he's not got it parked over in NZ,,, it'd be dragged and crushed...(maybe the owner read that article too,,hence the chain)

I've had an abandoned vehicle complaint before. Our old house had an open paddock on the other side of the road so my room mate put his HZ PV that he was restoring on the other side. Not in the paddock but on the large area of gravel in between the road and fence. I seen the council bloke put the sticker on it and told him who owned it and it was not abandoned and that we pull it into the drive way most every weekend to work on it; but because we had allot of cars (my 130, S1, SWIMBOs ute, his HQ plus 2 S1 hard tops and a 14ft car trailer). However because someone had complained, they were going to tow it away in 2 days.

So we put the 130 on the gravel and skull draged the PV into the drive. but they were going to tow it no matter.

Easo

One of my neighbours complained to the council about an 'abandoned' car outside my house. It was unregistered but still had plates & looked OK but they wanted it gone.

So I moved it away to my Dad's place to keep them happy.






Now I have a car trailer parked in the same spot with a wreck on the back (actually, 2 at the moment).
Looks much better now I think .

Brisbane City Council can't move a registered vehicle that is lawfully parked unless it is deemed to be a traffic hazard. However if a number of complaints from different people are received, not just one from a nark, then they will do a door knock nearby and if the owner is not found will put a sticker on the vehicle hoping to bring the owner out of the woodwork and tell them to move it around a bit, that there have been complaints. I don't know what happens of they actually do tow a registered vehicle. In the last 1-2 years I have seen a tidy 88 Range rover, WA plates, and and 88-89 Daimler badge XJ6 both unreg. with abandoned vehicle stickers which were eventually towed away. The Jagler didn't LOOK half bad but had NSW plates. Maybe the cost of getting them repaired to get a Safety Certificate to register in Qld was more than they were worth. Old Jags aren't worth much, maybe $2000 as is, and have a well deserved reputation as rust buckets and money pits, likewise the old RR which had at one time a For Sale $3000 notice on it. Deep pockets Brian offered $1500. The "lady" owner indicated I could go forth and multiply.
