What Do You Think? Ticket or No Ticket?

I spotted this sign taped to a car that was parking on my street on a day where we are required to relocated our vehicles from 8 a.m. to noon so the street sweeper can do its job.

I pretty much figured out what the sign said before I got close enough to read it.

The vehicle's owner was asking not to be tickets for not moving the car because the battery was dead and he or she was waiting for a tow.

There were other cars on the street well after 8 a.m. that had already been ticketed.

So I was amazed and amused by "the fine print" left by a member of the New Rochelle Police Department.

"You lucked out this time!—NRPD," the note read. There was no ticket on the car.

Should the vehicle's owner have been given a pass?

Readers of the New Rochelle Patch Facebook page think so.

Egen Warner thought leniency was appropriate.

"I have been there before," he said. "Yes, the cop should have let this person who is already in a bad situation go."

Madelyn Leonard said she was in the same predicament and still got a ticket.

"[W]ent to traffic court with my mechanics bill and it was dismissed," she wrote.

But for Robert Glowacky, it was inspiration.

"I'm going to make a sign like this," he said.
