The way I understand it is when you apply for a permit to bring a vehicle onto the Island you must prove that you have a private parking spot for it, the authorities do not tow away vehicles unless they are parked on a public road and someone complains about it. For instance if you parked your car on main street and decided to go out of town for a few days chances are it will get confiscated. If you are in town and shopping they won't tow your car.

That must be quite a job keeping track of everyones whereabouts and their activities!

There's been a crashed truck parked outside a neighbour's house for over a week now. It's very unsightly, has sharp jagged edges sticking out, and will never move again under its own power (or so I'm told). I will be surprised if the refuse truck can get past it. Other than simply asking my neighbours to move it, which I don't feel inclined to do, can I anonymously get it removed?

hmm- that crashed vehicle belongs to your neighbour. The best bet is to ask him to move it. But we know he probably won't. You can ask the traffic officers to ask him to move it and threaten him with a ticket - but it seems you might have burned that bridge....

Hands up everybody conversing on this thread that does NOT own a vehicle in San Pedro.

Now, now, play nice.

Hey, shouldn't that be: Simon Says "now, now, place nice."

Since you didn't say Simon says....

It's like people that don't have children telling parents how they should raise their kids.

Why would a thread about vehicle ownership and management be dominated by someone that doesn't own one. And if somebody wants to complain bitterly about the traffic department, and even accuses the department of taking private vehicles - why would he then want to run to them for help (anonymously).

You cannot remain anonymous in this town.

I don't think I've burned any bridges with my neighbours (who do jobs for me) or with the traffic officers (some of whom I know). I just don't want to be seen to cause my neighbours problems. And yes, I'm quite sure it'll still be there in a year's time unless I do do something.

And I do own a vehicle in SP. I don't have possession of it, that is true.

Simon Says - Good one!

Up.
