Another episode for the ONLY in America file.
 I wonder if that could happen here? http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...,4368590.story Jennifer Fitzgerald has been fighting more than $100,000 in parking tickets on her junk car after she says it had been abandoned by her former boyfriend for three years in an employee parking lot at O’Hare International Airport. A Cook County judge hearing her lawsuit against the city and her ex-boyfriend even wondered aloud Wednesday in court how all those tickets – sometimes as many as four in a single day -- could have been stashed on the windshield. “I don’t even know where the room for all the tickets were. Where’d you put them all?”“ Judge Thomas Allen asked rhetorically in his Daley Center courtroom. |

Really, wouldn't it become apparent it was abandoned at some point and have it towed.
Spose it helped get the quota for the day, easy pickings.

Nr plate recognition is being used in Vic.
The police combine it with cooperation with the Sherrifs Office and Vicroads picking up unpaid fines of all description, unroadworthy vehicles incl trucks and unlicensed drivers....ultimately no hiding place.

Since she says she wasn't allowed into the carpark to collect the vehicle, i'd say it's the airport's responsibility. (assuming she actually tried to get it).

An easy fix that is too late to attempt now would of been to report it stolen. If she had tried on day 1 to get the vehicle and was denied access to the airport grounds well then report it stolen.
"Hello Mr Policeman, my car was driven to work on day XYZ and hasn't been returned back to me. I tried to retrieve it from its last known whereabouts but was denied access to the premises, I believe my car has been stolen". |

Interesting that they left a vehicle that could have been a car bomb or worse for all that time in one of the 4 key airports in the country where the 911 tragedy actually happened.
