city took my/uncles ram

[realdeal7369]

thanks to a wonderful neighbor of mine, which im going to thoroughly drop kick my foot in his ass. fucking 10:40 a.m. this morning they took it. right out from under my nose. i was in the house doing some things, and didnt hear shit. another naighbor whos truck they took too, told me about it.

and my uncle being as broke as he is, barely getting by on what money he is making, its now gone, and he wont be able to pay to get it out. im so fucking pissed. truck was directly out front of my house, not bothering anyone. i was wanting to get the tb, intake and some other shit off it first too..so much for that. :rant:

[GWhaley]

Why did they "take" it. Parked illegally? And they took another one on the street too? - so I am assuming it must have been a parking issue.......

[Fluffy]

Add more information to your rant. :stick:

[realdeal7369]

tags werent valid anymore...
my ram..well, now my uncle...err, the cities now, came up from florida. so, he had some other issues with it to boot. tags were expired since before he even came up here and that was like 4.5 months ago...so, i blame it on him. he got a lousy ass work ethic, cant keep shit in his name...even when he is working..

im just pissed that i couldnt get the performance shit off it, as a partial payment if you will, to what he owes me on it..and he still does...prick.

i shoulda sold him the teal one i had way back in 2004 or so, i think is when i took it down to him. fucker drove the piss out of the truck, shows up with the interios all fucked up. steering aint right, brakes dont work right...how he drove it like that, is beyond me.

[Fluffy]

So what would make a neighbor call on his truck and another vehicle in the neighborhood? Just one of those nosey dumb bitches of a 'hood or what?

[realdeal7369]

yea, he is. fucking blaock captain piece of shit. i lost out on the 52mm tb, headers and that fucking m1 intake...
im so fucking mad, i shoulda just raped the shit over the weekenc, and let it rot out front.

had the polished aluminum valve covers too.1400.oo fo good shit that i had access to

[realdeal7369]

public street, with parking on either side of it.

[Montana Dodge]

So they took it just because the tags were expired? I'm still confused. Did he owe the city money or anything? And you say he got it from you, so it wasn't repossessed. How the hell can they just take it for having the tags expired, especially for only 4 1/2 months?

Was it considered a "junk" vehicle? We have that law in Montana, but it must have not moved for over a year, etc. Then you get warned before they'll come take it.

Oh well, just more government regulation. Guess we better get used to it the way the polls are looking.

[Montana Dodge]

And in the middle? LOL, craziest thing I've ever seen is in Philly where y'all park on the median.

[70Cuda383]

so, who paid for all this performance stuff? sounds like maybe someone's priorities aren't where they should have been.

maybe instead of spending nearly $2500 in performance/appearance upgrades, someone should have paid $100 for new registration.

i drove it down to florida. sold it to him, and was getting payment from him (all be it it was only 3 of them)..so he still owes me money. he ended up moving back to philly, to gain employment. while there in florida, he let the shit run out. registration, insurance etc. so he drove up here, under the radar so to speak. the truck, sat out front of my house since.

truck still ran like a top, never leaked anything, and no, it was not concidered junk..

so i dont know wtf to do now. that was my dads truck...

i did, years ago, when i owned it. performance upgrades where on the truck when i sold the truck to him...4-5 years ago.

he never did anything to the truck. he kept it as i had built it

[realdeal7369]

And in the middle? LOL, craziest thing I've ever seen is in Philly where y'all park on the median.

um, NO, no median. here is a pic of basically where it was.

and i find it particularly funny, that the dominican motherfucker can basically work on anything out front..and i mean anything.

[ItsMe]

:huh: cant you pay the city to get it back? i know down here in florida, if your car gets towed it goes to a tow yard until you pay for it.

[realdeal7369]

:huh: cant you pay the city to get it back? i know down here in florida, if your car gets towed it goes to a tow yard until you pay for it.

yea i can, but with what? im not working, hes only making 10hr. my mother said shes willing to fork over the dough, but my uncle dont care. yea, i know, im still at home..blah blah...whatever. im here for a few reasons, and its not all about me. she hasne been well either, and was in an accident too. which left her all fucked up, and now is battling fibromyalgia...

[Montana Dodge]

I'm still confused on how exactly they have the legal right to tow it. They can tow it just because the tags are expired?

If you haven't actually driven it, then you haven't broken any laws.

That is like coming and taking your gun away, just because you *may* use it to break laws.

[bwdakrt]

That sucks!! Seems to me like that the City would be required to mail you a notice about it being in violation of City Ordinence #---- before they could legally tow it!!! Something just don't sound right about this deal! I'd be raising some hell!!!! :rant:

[jmaack727]

HOw much do you owe on it well owe to the city?

[sltdak]

Yeah, I too think you should get some type of warning and need more than just expired tags for it to be stolen...I mean towed.
Maybe neighbor reported it stolen, and that you guys were trying to part it out.

[realdeal7369]

exactly. the neightbors have called it in, saying whatever it was that they said. also, philly is notorious all over the world for this bullshit. i can see if maybe it was obstructing traffic, or in front of someone elses house maybe

[Jecht]

well its on a public road and a vehicle has expired tags. So they have every right to tow it. It can be considered an abandoned vehicle. I know the lil town I live in they have this law. How do you know this person called the cops about it. Cops could of just drove by and saw the tags expired.

[realdeal7369]

HOw much do you owe on it well owe to the city?

i personally dont owe shit. its my uncles problem. its 125.oo plus 12-18.oo a day for storage. then, he has to show up with paperwork showing his tags/insurace and registration are up to date. then it would have to get towed to a shop for inspection, before he could even take it off thier hands.

not to mention, he owes the state of florida 1000.oo for the same kind of shit, cause her let it all lapse. (him getting sick as shit like he did (rather not say what it was ...(not aids though thank god)) didnt help any. lets just say he needed interferon injections. which if anyone knows what that shit is..is some fucked up shit.

i dont know. i just have a feeling someone did. i just talked to the block captain, he's been out all day, and had no idea as to it happeneing..so.

edit...just talked to another neighbor...she said she seen him writing the tag numbers down and shit...

btw, caps have been up and down the block aall the time, never had no issues from that.

not to sound mean or anyhting. The truck was in violation of the law. Next time buy a truck cover or if you have a driveway park it in there. He was doing his job as block captain. Sure it sucks but yo u knew this would happen sooner or later with a vehicle with expired tags on a public road.

Block Captain? What is that commie bullshit!?

[realdeal7369]

Block Captain? What is that commie bullshit!?

beats me, all i know is, is that he has been one for SOME time now...and ive lived here my whole life (cept for 2 years when i lived on my own out in bensalem pa. (which is on the outskirts of philly...like 25 minutes from where i live now)

[realdeal7369]

true, i know what you mean, but he didnt have to go about it like this. he does this with everything. and with the situation me and my family are in, it just dont sit right for me.

[sltdak]

Block Captain? What is that commie bullshit!?

LOL...
In some neighborhoods, they have like a Neighborhood Watch, that is supposed to help the neighbors look out for each other and such, so I would say that someone would have to be in charge or assume the leader type role.

well its on a public road and a vehicle has expired tags. So they have every right to tow it. It can be considered an abandoned vehicle. I know the lil town I live in they have this law. How do you know this person called the cops about it. Cops could of just drove by and saw the tags expired.

C'mon, now...do you really believe that? In a parking lot, with nothing to do, maybe...but on the street...I don't see that happening much

i dont know. i just have a feeling someone did. i just talked to the block captain, he's been out all day, and had no idea as to it happeneing..so.

edit...just talked to another neighbor...she said she seen him writing the tag numbers down and shit...

Right...point made...

[realdeal7369]

:poofan:

and i even told him the issues i have here going on...AND...I had no where to put it. last time i checked, my asshole dont make for a good parking space...:stirthepo.... only place i had was out front, and in my garage...and we all know the black beast sleeps there. also to, if my garage was big enough, it would be a no brainer.

he didnt have to go about it this way, he coulda just said to me straight up too...like, hey man, if you cant get your truck straighened out, im going to have to call it in...

he's black too....and i think maybe this had something to do with it too. shame, cause ive known the prick all my life. sorry to toss the race card in but, the shoe fits IMO

the dominicans up the street from me had thier fucking blazer out front fro like 2 years!. nothing was ever done, of course until today of all days.

[Rob454]

Yeah they ( the city) tend to do that. It falls under a abandoned vehicle law. I personally dont see anything wrong with it. I had a neighbor who had two POS chevelle and an el camino in his driveway. looked like he pulled them from the junkyard and dragged them home. It devalues my property. When I was selling my house the first thing people looked at when they drove up was those two POS cars sitting in the driveway. Guess how many people made offers on my house. ZERO thats how many. A bunch of neighbors got pissed and they called the city and finally they came and towed those cars away. ( those cars were sitting there for abotu two years. None of us jumped the gun. We tried talking tot he guy asking him to at least throw some car covers on them so they just looked liek two parked cars but the guy was really unreasonable. it woudl be easy for the guy to put the cars in his back yard or his garage but he had to leave them out for the whole world to see. if he woudl of gotten some cheapo 20$ covers he could of avoided the whole thing but he decided to be a jerk off

i didnt read the whole thing, but i do believe he and what he had going on, was a totally different situation than me. if i could afford to live in a 245K house, i woulda paid the 50.oo thing and been done with it. not to mention this isiot has/or had a job and evidentally, paid well too, to own such a nice piece of property. unfortunately for me, all i have is a nice 52" big screen tv, surround sound (bought this a while back when i had just got on disability for my back--looking back, i guess i coulda got by with something not as nice...but fuck it), and my truck and garage. everything else is moms shit. and what little else i had for when i had my own apartment (for which im selling pretty cheep too)...cause im flat fucking broke.

[realdeal7369]

well, like i said, not really mine, (it was), but yea, asshole neighbor though..imo. kinda went about it in a cowardly way. shoulda just came right up to me, and said, hey jim. im sorry to have to tell you this, but i have a responcibilty to the block, and with the truck being in the shape and status its in, if something cant be done about it, im going to have to call it in, (then at least give me another week or something to come up with a game plan to move it/hide it some place)....but no. fucker just calls it in.

all i know, he better steer clear of me.

[realdeal7369]

funny, his car (my wonderful respectful neighbor) is in his garage with a wore the fuck out motor...and it only has 50K on the odometer....:huh:

true, i understand the point of that..but you guys all had to take that step. this fucking piece of shit never did. he told me a few months ago, to watch over my truck because the city has people randomly checking shit out (which i now believe is total horse shit). but never offered me anything else as a warning. just that. also, the truck was a little banged up, bit still looked better than half the other cars on the street and ran like a top too even with 180K+ on the odo. just needed a water pump pully...

speaking of water pumps, anyone need one? i bought one for it with the pully attached...got it from rockauto. since i no longer have the truck, and my uncle is a waste at trying to do something about all this...i need to sell it for some bills coming up....

:sorry:
back on topic now.

Amen. Neighbors don't like it, to hell with 'em. I have a driveway to move my "soon to be fixed" shit onto.

[b2™]

Yup, I have a shop to work on my stuff in, room behind the shop, and plenty of friends w/ room for me to store shit if need be. I have one friend w/ a field behind his house that would make your jaw drop.

1. 82 W100 4x4 w/ 4" Lift (Parts truck for his 86 and my 84)
2. 78 W100 4x4
3. 76 Power Wagon
4. 85 Dodge Van w/ a 360 4bbl LA V8.

try 3-4 by the time its all said and done. i think they keep it for a month or so, then auction it off.

look again, you can clearly see a wide space in between

[Rob454]

. he told me a few months ago, to watch over my truck because the city has people randomly checking shit out (which i now believe is total horse shit). .

Actually my neighbor works for the city. she is a secretary to something or other. I asked her and she said depending on the city yeah they can and do random checks and tow with no warning. She said the car has to be out of public view ( garage or back yard) if its in the driveway it canbe towed. At least thats in my city and im assuming most cities tend to copy each others rules. Sucks. How much to get it out of impound? if its cheap enough you may want to get it out

[GWhaley]

By-laws can seem fucked up, but they don't tend to 'bend rules". If the vehicle has no tags and is sitting on public property, they just yank it. There was a guy in my subdivision that had an old chevelle IN is driveway - town bylaw states that if it an eyesore it must be removed - he had to put it in is garage or the town was gonna fine him. We aren't supposed to park company vehicles in our driveways here either(that eyesore thing again) in our driveways. Town doesn't act until someone bitches, then they go on a tear.

i cant do nothing. my uncle owes 1000.oo to florida's wonderful court system, for driving the thing with invalid everything (he really couldnt help it, he was dead broke and came out here on a whim tin hopes to find work here, and make some sort of amends with me (cause the guy never called me or nothing to let me know what was going on. ). since his bout with being inheritly deathly ill. he's been playing catch up since. and now, because of all this shit, he lost the truck. it was supposed to be withing the family for a long time coming, but i think since he came back, and when he and i had a big blow out about it and my ex gf/gf....(dont ask..its complicated), and amoung alot of other things, he showed me he had no interest in it. but then later afterwards, he's talking all this stuff about wanting to fix it up and blah blah...yea, ok. guy cant even stop drinking/going out enough to get his shit straight, save up and get the fuck out my house...im so fed up, i shoulda told him on the day he showed up UNEXPECTEDLY MIND YOU, "good, im glad your sorry, now have a nice day, there is the door" reason being is because the guy never called me in over two years to let me know, if anything what was happening.. (cause he was trying to make payments to me....and i use that term loosely). all this shit started back in 2003 when i drove the truck to him in florida, trying to help him out, cause he needed something to get to work with. his job was a 40 minute drive from where he lived...:blahblah:

just to clarify, it did have tags on it....its just they were expired. (even before he came up here they were bad). he agrees it wasnt smart, but he had to do something. he was homeless. so he took a chance and showed up at my door.

[dakotanut]

Just one of the reasons we need to fuck all these governments up and get some of these laws changed. What's next, your clothes cause you didn't have time to wash them. They stole something that belonged to you. If they had done it to me, I would sue them for theft. I don't care what anyone says.

[dadditruck]

$2500+ worth of upgrades, I would borrow the money from your mother, get the truck out of the lot, strip the items you want, sell what you don't want, pay your mom back and tell your uncle his truck is out side, well at least what's left of it is. . .

[critical_level2]

$2500+ worth of upgrades, I would borrow the money from your mother, get the truck out of the lot, strip the items you want, sell what you don't want, pay your mom back

This sounds like a plan. For all the different parts, you may get some decent money.

[realdeal7369]

hell, id put that on mine....headers, m1, tb, and the y-pipe. and the cruis control shit..too now that i think of it.

everything else (like cam and computer i cant really use or get to)...nor do i want to be bothered with the cam. its only an r/t one. although that in mine, then use 1.7's would help...but we are talking money that NO ONE in the houe has. if anything it would be placed on the CC, and im already hearing SHIT about that, and its not even my cards...(mom is pepressed and kinda sorta reminds me of tony sopranos mom...never happy. shes not totally like her, but shes god damn close.

id rather not ask for a handout or help. i have enough freakin grief. fuck it, its done. uncle dont want it. he expressed that shit clear as day. just wish the fuck would said something sooner. i would raped it, then left the keys in the bitch. fucking truck looks like dog shit compared to how i dropped it off to him. interios is fucked, paint is faded, has rust spots, rear bumper was obliterated, as is the tailgate. windshield had a crank in it bigger that a fat girls ass. dash too...steering wheel was falling apart (had that gritty deteriation thing going on on that thing.

motor still had alot of balls though and its got like 165K on it too.
anyone want a cheap ram, come to philly.

im just besides myself i guess, least i coulda got off it was the tb and headers. something simple to get off. then i think i wouldnt beso pissed

[realdeal7369]

This sounds like a plan. For all the different parts, you may get some decent money.

hell, with what ive been trying to sell on here and on other sites, id probably own it all for a while before it sold.

[dadditruck]

Okay, wait a minute, take a deep breath and think this one out. I understand you don't want to borrow money from your mom, for reasons you state, but also as you state with what you've been trying to sell on here and other sites, you like everybody else are trying to get what you think is a fair price. Nothing wrong with that, but if you just need money and the items you take off the truck are sold way below cost, people are going to buy when they see a deal. Example, M1's typically go for $200-$300, if you were to sell it for $100 someone would snap that up in a heartbeat, and you'd be in for a $100. Now I'm not saying to sell the M1 cause I know you want that for yourself, but you get the picture. Since all the other stuff you remove from the truck you didn't pay for, except in labor, you'll still be making a buck.What I'm saying is part the shit out of it and sell all the stuff on the cheap, you'll make money, there are always people who can spot a deal. If you sell the stuff at deeply discounted prices you'll make your money back to pay your mom and probably have some, but not a lot of cash let over, and some money is better than none. I'm just saying look at all your avenues before you shut the door, because the longer you wait to get it out of storage the less profitable it will be for you.Then just leave it out on the street in front of your unlce's house call the city and let them come for it again. Just my .02

[ADakotaRTGuy]

Talk to the city, try and get a settlement for the payment down. Tell them you will be putting it in a garage. All they want is some money. I would be willing to pay to get it out if it was worth it. I am not to far away from you. I can stick it in my garage and part the shit out of it. I would be willing to throw a couple hundy your way if it was worth doing.

i did pay for everything that was on the truck. mew m1's are going fro a tick over 700.oo with the install kit. if i was to get it, id be happy with 60-65% of what it costs.

if i was to go through all that, all i would do is break even. i really dont think they will release the truck, as it is not in my name, its in my uncles name, and with his issues steming from florida, were fucked.

my uncle dont own a house, he's living with us, in my mothers home.

Talk to the city, try and get a settlement for the payment down. Tell them you will be putting it in a garage. All they want is some money. I would be willing to pay to get it out if it was worth it. I am not to far away from you. I can stick it in my garage and part the shit out of it. I would be willing to throw a couple hundy your way if it was worth doing.

thanks for the offer, but i really dont think the truck is worth it anymore. with the shape its in, the only thing really having any value is the trans, motor and the hp shit. and the motor having 160+k on it, dont think its very valuable as it sits. cause hell, i have a motor (its all apart right now), with 3K on it, and no one wants to get it. and it dont need much either to get it in running condition.

it just sickens me that the block captain had to be a coward about it and just call, and not say something to me before he actually does. then, i woulda drove it to my cousins house or something, park it in his driveway till a better spot may open up or something...(but i dont know how receptive he would have been, cause the way he is, if he cant benifit from something, he dont do anything fro no one)

sounds like a couple hundred $$$ worth of parts to me! I'm too far away though.

If your uncle still owes you money on it, you can take a lein out on it and reposse it. Then you can get it out of the impound lot and part it out,or sell it whole. I think the problems with the truck in Florida would only be your uncle's problem, and have nothing to do with you (being a lienholder). Just a thought. (and what I would do, if it were me!)

It doesn't matter that he holds the title and that it is his name, you can still put a lien on it, as long as he owes you money. Then if you are a lienholder, you can reposses it. You will still have to pay the city whatever, but then you will own it. You can put a lien on it at you local courthouse.

Borrow to get it out, take what you want off of it. Sell the rest, pay back what you borrowed, after that, the rest is gravy!

C'mon, now...do you really believe that? In a parking lot, with nothing to do, maybe...but on the street...I don't see that happening much



Right...point made...

well in my city the cops cruise the parking lots of wal-mart other parking areas including my work place to look for expired tags and inspection stickers. so yes it does happen.

but more likely than not, they dont go looking up and down the streets as it was said to me. i also have EYE witnesses that seen him copying shit down...then magically the man shows up with flatbeds and reinforcment buddies too. think im about fucked in this deal, as i dont have the money on hand to do shit. this would be a whole different ball game if i was allowed to build the garage the way i wanted too back in 1999. 1.5foot wider, and 4-4.5 feet longer...i woulda had PLENTY of room, and wouldnt have this issue. cause it woulda been parked in there till the thing grew hair for all i cared.:bump:
