This vehicle was marked as abandon today by a Parking Enforcement Officer. After approx. 72 hours, the police department will return and tow the vehicle if it is still at the same location.

This car though tagged simply moved across the street exchanging parking spots with the Jag pictured which was also reported and tagged - I'm assuming the same owner for both cars. Simply swapping parking spots doesn't really solve the issue of someone abandoning cars on the street.

The owner of the car lives locally. Since it moved, it is not considered an abandoned vehicle.

According the the city of Burlingame website citing the California vehicle code, the owner living locally has no bearing on the matter. Any car not moving more than 1/10th of a mile in a 72 hour period is abandoned and subject to towing - this car falls under this rule

We have to prove the car did not travel 1/10th of a mile. For example, did the owner go to the store and come back to the neighborhood? The owner is a resident in the area.

The car was towed today

Thanks for fixing this issue!

This car was not towed, it is parked in the same spot it was when I left for work!

Dear SP1967,

I would like to set up a face to face meeting to discuss this issue. The fact of the matter is the Corvette and Jag were towed today. After the cars were towed, the owner came to the police department, obtain a release, and picked up his two cars at the local tow yard. He lives in the area so he parked his car in his neighborhood. I look forward to meeting with you, discussing the issues, and collaborative finding a solution to your problem. I will be closing this thread because it appears this issue cannot be solved over the web.
