“perhaps this is a step in the right direction?”

“Dear PoPville,

saw 2 cars getting booted in NW this morning. Looked like MD plates on both of them. I’ve heard DC has been struggling to enforce tickets/fines on out of town drivers – perhaps this is a step in the right direction?”

You may run but you can’t hide. Daily DPW tickets vehicles and boots and tows vehicles with three or more outstanding tickets. We’ve even found a car w/ more than $70K in tickets. If your car is parked on a DC street w/ tickets and violations sooner or later we will find you. pic.twitter.com/mbNjGSXJMk

And in other car wheel news:

Thanks to V. for sending from Mount Pleasant: “All 4 wheels and a smashed window to boot. Police are notifying the owner.”

It had been 7 days since our last stolen wheels report. You can see some MPD suggestions on ways to prevent a Helluva Way to Wake Up here.
