My Bike Got Impounded

[VooDooXII]

I cannot even express in words, how angry I am. This system ****ing sucks.

So yea, apparently they can do that. This is not a motorcycle. This is a mountain bike, as in a bicycle...you know, the kind with pedals? According to the impound slip, it has a VIN too. Wow...learn something new every day.

Needless to say, this is ****ing ridiculous. The one day that I put it in a different spot, something bad happens. I don't even know why it had to. Normally, I chain it up next to my parking space, but that's quite a long walk, so yesterday, I chained it up to a Handicapped Parking sign. I made sure that it wasn't intruding on the parking space, and that it wasn't blocking the sign. Not that it could've...the sign is kinda tall.

It probably would've been fine too, but the arrogant prick that parks there was the one who actually called for them to "tow" my bike. He says it was intruding on his parking space, which is proper bull****.



This is how I placed my bike. The black rectangle represents my bike lock, which those ****ers had to break through to get to my bike. That beige thing is the concrete slab at the end of most parking spaces. I made sure my bike was behind it so it wouldn't take up any space. The guy drives a Jetta too, and it's not like he hangs the front end of his car over the slab.

What's worse...I've had my bike for four or five years. In order to get it back from the impound lot, I need some registration, or a title, or something to prove the bike is mine. IT'S A ****ING BICYCLE. The best I've got is a receipt, and after four or five years...I don't know where the hell that's going to be. The only piece of "paperwork" that I have is the impound slip. Even the lady whom I was speaking at the impound office found it weird that a bicycle could get impounded...there's nothing she can do though because that's their policy. She even spoke to her supervisor, but...same story. On top of that, it's a $105 "service fee"...oh yea, a ****ing great service you've done for me.

I'm so ****ing mad right now. I don't understand why someone would call in for something like that. Damn, it's like he's just looking for something to complain about. It wasn't even in his spot! It was near it if anything. At least I know that it hasn't been stolen, but what the ****'s the point? If I can't turn up a receipt, then it's as good as gone.

[man]

Was this at tech?

[thinkfast®]

[Whiteboy™]

Thanks man...I used photoshop along with a couple pictures I pulled off of google.

[AJYteg]

Amazing detail on the picture.

[thinkfast®]

props on it man, +1

[Revmaynard]

Damn, well, either return the favor in some way or just buy a new bike, you can get one new for $105.

[VooDooXII]

That's another thing...I used to be really into mountain biking, and I bought a hell of a bike. I've done my best to keep it up and running all this time. It was $650 when I bought it. I don't want to just replace it like that.

[EJ25RUN]

send them a picture of your middle finger.

[Halfwit]

i would so lol if i saw a bike on its wheels on a toe truck being towed like a car strapped down an **** lol.

[VooDooXII]

Owned. Slash his tires, lol

I'm tempted, but that'd make me no better.

[VooDooXII]

I didn't even know bikes could get impounded...what the hell?

[changaroo]

pee on his door handle, put a boot on his car with a fake citation

are there cameras in your parking deck?

is he disabled? or someone living in his apt?

[Kevykev]

Vin number?


WOW!


Very unfortunate and strange!

[GIXXERDK]

Damn lol, I do that on my motorcycle. Never had a problem

[Alan®]

wow ****ed up

[Leadfoot_mf]

okay lets do this. lets gather up all the old piece of **** bikes we can find and old chains and locks and every ****ing day until we run out of bikes or they stop impounding them chain them ****ers to the same sign.

[§treet_§peed]

wow that suxs just go by another one it'll almost be cheaper

[Init2winit]

City of Atlanta? Where did it get impounded? I might be able to help you out.

[VooDooXII]

Whoa seriously? PM'd.

[Init2winit]

Whoa seriously? PM'd.

Yeah, we can go break that ***** out! Shouldn't be too hard...... I pm'd ya back.

ding ding ding!!! then the inpound yars is full of bikes, and they dont get paid for the tow because no one claims the bikes!! so theyll stop and hell be ok!!

and well put huge fkin chains on them so its hard as **** for them to cut off!!!

F-uck a chain, weld them bit-ches to the signs!

[con]

wow, that sucks....

call the Chief of the precinct that towed it and see if he/she can be of further assistance.

[Revmaynard]

Damn, that's hella loot for that bike then, I see where you're coming from.

****, lets just get an angry mob of IA guys and we'll go take the parts off his car while it's parked there one day. OR move his car onto the curb and chain it to that sign. LOL.

[VooDooXII]

I've got the proof of ownership thing taken care of, and a big thanks to Init2winit for helping me out on what to do about the Service Fee.

I feel weird, because the guy's handicapped...I just wish he could've given me a warning or something instead of just hopping straight to taking my bike away for no good reason.

I need to talk to the commissioner's office about the charge, and the resident's office of my apartment building faxed a signed letter stating that I am the owner of that bike.

[civic95]

Get yourself some of that expanding spray foam in a can, and spray it into his (key holes, door jambs, exhaust, wheels, valve stems, mirrors, etc).

[Blitanicle99]

**** that Jetta the **** up. Hes a douche bag for doing that ****. Its like those **** heads that get handicap parking spots when they definitely do not need it and the people that are in walkers and on crutches cant park because of **** heads.
Pay for my diesel and Ill hook a truck up to his POS and drag it all the way to ****ing Alabama.
That **** pisses me off.

[redrumracer]

break lots of glass bottles in his parking spot. but make sure you wear something over your hands so they dont have your finger prints

[Nitro]

fake receipt FTW!!!!

[Stormhammer]

I would make the bastard more handicapped.

[VooDooXII]

fake receipt FTW!!!!

Already got that part taken care of, haha but not a bad idea if I can fake it well.

[Jecht]

That is seriously fucked up. I would do little things just to make the guy who had it impounded mad. Find out which apartment is his and put glue in the locks before he gets home so his key is stuck.

[VooDooXII]

Inconveniencing him, yea...as long as I don't too any permanent damage. I've got a tire pressure gauge...I could let the air out of his tires.

Everything's on my side too. I first thought my bike was stolen, so when I went to the front desk, they told me that they'd do what they could but they don't have any cameras watching that particular spot.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Nitro]

i say .....chain his car to the pole when u get a chance

[Kyle]

My vote is lock a bike to each wheel of the guys car.

[RandomGuy]

thats messed up... My friend jasper only told on you because your bike was intruding on the pole which he uses to pull himself up onto his wheelchair. Pretty mest up on your part. You caused him all of that embarrassment of falling down attempting to get on multiple times, on his already low self esteem... just so you save 45 seconds walking.

[VooDooXII]

Hah, Hasan...you would.

[quickdodge®]

F-uck a chain, weld them bit-ches to the signs!

That would defeat the purpose, stupid. Later, QD.
