That was quite a long exchange he had with the attendant. Weird.
Looking at the camera….Busted!
They might have his finger prints too if that was a plastic or metal clipboard that the attendant handed him to get his signature. Looks like the driver claimed to have lost his ticket. That’s why the exchange took so long. Always take your parking ticket with you. If someone steals your car and the ticket is there then he/she just zips out of the parking lot unimpeaded.
looks like some north county vato right there.
….I think you meant to say “pato.” This guy is a dumb-cluck duck indeed. By pulling so far over from the kiosk window, he was prepared to split at a moments notice when they didn’t accept his feathered parking voucher…that’s what ducks do. This aix is soooooo busted, and he knew it the first, second, and fourth time he pointed his quackin’ bill toward the duck camera.
Put out that cig, Frank the Felon. Nasty!
oh, this is a CLASSIC! SO much time stuck there. I too appreciated his staring at the camera.
As an ex-smoker, I don’t think he smokes. I saw him take one drag, no smoke was visible after he did so. Maybe a move to look relaxed? He coulda found them in the car? He held it in his left hand a long time; I never do that, as a right-hander. Lots of good comments here. I hope to see him busted very soon; then I’ll really be able to laugh at this video.
The police did say don’t leave your ticket in the car…
Usually do, won’t anymore !
He had the ticket stub. He even handed it to the attendant. What you saw was the process involved when you don’t have the money to PAY the ticket. It takes awhile. Why wouldn’t the attendant let him go? He isn’t paid to figure out if someone owns the car or not.
Say “Cheese!” LMAO
I was thinking that too, but then I realized his right hand might be injured enough that gripping a cig between his fingers might put too much pressure on whatever is wrong with his finger. I agree it might just be a move to look more relaxed.
Funny enough if he had pulled in closer to the kiosk he may not have been as easily visible/recognizable by the camera. I wonder what alias he signed?
Is his face tattoo a teardrop or a music note, i wonder.
A thief in action. His family and friends must be proud.
Previously a felon by appearances. This is the kind of lowlife the 3-strikes was meant to “provide for”, not pot smokers and that ilk–not that it was a good law, anyway. I wish there were a way to deal with career criminals that didn’t involve killing them or paying for their care & upkeep on an extended basis. Reminds me of the situation in schools: How do you get rid of the 2 o3 disruptors so you can teach the kids who want to (or could want to) learn.
Maybe this car is all chopped up into parts by now. Frankie and sons auto supply. Everyone has a hand tat there. This town just isn’t the sleepy place it used to be. Between needles in playgrounds, gang knives at kid’s world, and brazen car thieves, we need a little more situational awareness than we used to.
