Didn't have full coverage at the time but glad to know. I swear its all legal racketeering to be honest. Why on earth would you need to pay to get your own car back.

Sorry to hear about this and it truly sucks. Just a word of advice based on my experience, should it be found and not have to go to a tow garage you should be fine.

In the case it does go to a tow garage be prepared to pay some fees to get it out of storage, in the case this car was used in another crime, be prepared to deal with not only incompetent local police but stupid ass state cops as well, on top of the tow garage idiots and fees.

My moms car got stolen once but it was also used in another crime. When we called they treated us like the criminals who stole when we were trying to get it back. The state trooper was the worse and then the schmuck at the tow garage. We eventually get the car back after 2-3 days and paying the fee to get it out. Think it was $120 to $150 if memory serves me correct. But here is the fucking kicker, we got the car back with a paper stating we paid or something from the tow garage, however either their negligence or the Providence police department negligence never removed it off the stolen list in their database, several months later my mom was pulled over in that car by like 6 cops in our neighborhood, her English is ok and lucky that paper was in the car, I can only imagine how terrified she was. How the fuck are you going to steal your own car was running through my mind, I probably would have gotten arrested if I was there to be honest.

This story is sad and really sucks to hear but we will probably be seeing more and more stories like this. I read majority of the article but one section that boggled my mind was the part in which the landlord gave them legal notice to move but they didn't and were evicted. I know they couldn't find a place and hence why they stayed past the notice then got evicted but did they not realize what an eviction on your record can do to you as a potential renter even if you meet or exceed all the requirements.

Wow blast from the past, while I don't remember the dude in question. I do remember a couple public access shows like Party w/ Ulysses , Joanne or Joana ( singer), Talk Wrestling, the New England Wrestling Alliance.

Not sure if you already have tattoos but I would volunteer my prison style tattoos ( never been to prison ) a small zap and if you don't have any tattoos already think of it as your rite of passage tattoo lol.

While I do have sincere empathy for certain homeless people such as handicapped, diagnosed mental illness, loss of employment, ageism, etc. There are a bunch of people that are homeless currently that have made really bad decisions for themselves that I really don't have any empathy for.

Stop and Shop best value at $7.99 for a 16" Italian sub, better tasting options available but not at this price range. The one at Market Basket is trash even though its cheaper and they make it for you on the spot.

You know there are permits and there are signs stating no overnight parking what's the issue you already know the risk.

I remember getting tagged at least 3x in one year on my street and I'm on the outskirts of the city. Sucked having to pay $20 each time but what can you do.
