So, flash back to Sunday, September 12. My friends and I decide to do some shopping. We get back around 7, and I park my car in a circle outside our dorm (a 15-minute-only spot) and put my flashers on. We went inside with our stuff.

Flash to 1 AM this morning. Knock on my door, and it's couple of my friends. "Dude, Josh, do you realize you left your car parked out in the circle?"

"Bull****," I say.

"Dude, seriously. It's out there now."

"S***," I say.

I grab my keys and wallet (we have a card security entry system for our dorms) and go out. Lo and behold, there's my car with 3 tickets (been out there for about 5 days now). I try the keyless entry, and no reponse.

****. Battery's dead. So we jumper the sucker and I drive it for about a half-hour to charge it up.

So...yeah. I'm thankful to God for not towing the thing.

You park your car in a circle? I just usually reverse parallel...

You didn't get towed after 5 days? Wow. MUPD really dropped the ball there.

On a related note, the other day I saw a red Chevy Cavalier that had been "modded" with a flame paint job and a surfboard of a spoiler getting towed from Virginia Ave. I wish I could've taken a picture and put the caption: "This is why you don't do that to certain cars, if any at all."

My friend did that freshman year... parked his car in a 15 minute parking zone, left his flashers on, because he had to bring something up to his room on the 12th floor. He promptly forgot about his car, and left it there for 3 days. He got tickets, but the campus safety people decided not to charge him when he showed up to pay.

IU PD will tow it when your trying to move out of the dorm (seen that happen once)

Well done :p

The GT Parking police are like vultures waiting to descend on your car with tickets and boots aplenty. It's sick.
