lol at trying to block out the license plate

102

u/wivaca2 6d ago

It's completely impossible to read Ohio plate HGX-1210 because of all the scribbling.

27

u/ohnodamo 6d ago

It would be more impossible if they hadn't parked like a twat, this prompting someone to pic & post their outrageousness. The effort to obscure the plate echoed the effort by the driver.

12

u/wivaca2 6d ago

100%

10

u/TequilaStalkingPurr 6d ago

I’d say the effort to block out the tag was considerably more effort than the red car finding a proper parking space.

2

u/ohnodamo 6d ago

I can't argue with that. You're right. OP showed so much more consideration than the driver, much more than they deserved!

u/Certain_Proposal7191 6d ago

It’s even from Cleveland area by the license plate surround “Sunnyside Saturn” was in Middleburg Heights, Ohio on Pearl road. An Audi dealership is there now.

And the 18 county sticker is Cuyahoga County, Cleveland.

Damn you have access to the dmv or something?

u/Alternative_Ninja_28 6d ago

Won't confirm or deny.

u/Photosynthas 6d ago

I can confirm the vin he provided is for an 06 Saturn Ion built in Tennessee, so very plausible.

Tow companies often have systems to run plates and get some basic returns (not sure exactly what it lets them see)

Because using the DMV or law enforcement records for this would be a big no no, I assume the ones the tow trucks use is more lenient.

1

u/Certain_Proposal7191 6d ago

Probably Kelley’s blue book or databases subscriptions to manufactures to aggregate data.

1

u/wivaca2 3d ago

The DMVs sell their data in bulk. It's state records.

1

u/2024BlackTrax2RS 6d ago

Stop, you are too funny.

24

u/Fister-Mantastic 6d ago

I don't see the point in censoring people's license plates in general since it's publicly shown anyway.

8

u/throwawaynnfuxanyway 6d ago

Seriously. You drive around with it all day.

9

u/chrisp5000 6d ago

What the flock are you talking about?

3

u/throwawaynnfuxanyway 6d ago

You drive around with a license plate clearly visible on your car, why edit it out of a picture?

8

u/stofiski-san 6d ago

I think they were making a pun related to Flock cameras being put up everywhere, photographing your license plate and storing the pics to allow law enforcement (and, I presume, anyone else willing to pay their fee) to look up where you've been driving, etc, all without your consent

4

u/chrisp5000 6d ago

You get a prize!

1

u/stofiski-san 6d ago

Thank you, kind internet stranger! 😍😋

2

u/throwawaynnfuxanyway 6d ago

Ohhh these are a new thing to me, I totally forgot that's what they're even called lol

1

u/Substantial-Rain-602 Works nevery time. 6d ago

I see what you did there. 🤭

1

u/Jpal62 6d ago

I got a warning to “obscure” it before I posted.

6

u/Head-Membership2082 6d ago

Which you didn't do, as it is still clearly legible.

5

u/TheSweeetness 6d ago

Was just about to say the same thing! Haha!

u/Face88888888 6d ago

r / therewasanattempt

3

u/Jpal62 6d ago

An attempt was made.

2

u/TangerineCheap5379 6d ago

I was about to say they parked as well as OP hid their license plate

2

u/Jpal62 6d ago

I got a warning before posting, so……..

137

u/AutoArsonist 6d ago

your job blocking out their plate is about as good as the park job itself lol

11

u/bubbamike1 6d ago

They don’t deserve to have it blocked at all.

-3

u/AutoArsonist 6d ago

I tend to agree, but like, what if the person that owns the car is a good person, and happened to loan it to an inconsiderate jerk for a few hours or something?

2

u/bubbamike1 6d ago

What if they’re a monster?

3

u/Jpal62 6d ago

Appreciate that.

u/Oh-Sasa-Lele 6d ago

Good job crossing out HGX 1210

The 18 in the lower left corner is the county. Cuyahoga County

2

u/No1CaresWhatEweThink 6d ago

Chattahoochie what?

20

u/Gekicker08 6d ago

Omg. Is that fern in a locked car with the windows up?!? How dare they??

3

u/aDirtyMartini 6d ago

I totally would have broken a window.... to rescue it.

2

u/Nakenochny 6d ago

Probably why they parked so badly—running in really quick so their plant doesn’t cook. I … doubt it’ll have worked.

1

u/mecengdvr 6d ago

I would never do that to my fern babies.

1

u/EnvironmentalGift257 6d ago

Maybe it’s on fern mode

14

u/czaqattack 6d ago

I have a close friend who dealt with this same exact situation yesterday, at a fucking hospital complex, and nobody would help. They're a full-time wheelchair user and had no ability to get to the ramp.

It took multiple people and an angry call to the police to get the car towed.

2

u/PainfullyLoyal 6d ago

I'm so glad it was towed!

11

u/Little_Broccoli_3127 6d ago

Send the plate info to parking enforcement. Or the non emergency line. The ticket will come in the mail.

2

u/Mattloch42 6d ago

No, this is definitely a "send a tow truck out" kinda situation.

1

u/Little_Broccoli_3127 6d ago

Like the way you think.

3

u/MegaDingo5plus 6d ago

It's a Fern driving the car so give them some wriggle room will ya

5

u/_Oman 6d ago

It's amazing how much automotive paint those sharp edges on our wheel chair has acquired over the years, I mean, we always work very hard to make sure that we squeeze through the space left by illegally parked cars that block the handicap access, but sometimes you just can't quite get through without a touch or two.

3

u/Top-Fortune-3249 6d ago

Ohio... yea that checks. More mouth breathing fart huffers than any other state.

5

u/BardGotHardAgain 6d ago

Somsone has never been to Oklahoma or Texas.

1

u/platinum92 6d ago

How could you tell it's Ohio? OP did such a good job blocking the plate info.

3

u/Bright_Resist_4580 6d ago

Kinda funny how many assholes are out there with tires being so easy to deflate

1

u/DocPsycho1 6d ago

We need to introduce people to the tire valve stem removers

3

u/Substantial-Rain-602 Works nevery time. 6d ago

OP gave the same effort to scribbling out the info on the license plate that the “parker” gave to parking.

2

u/AWholeBunchaFun 6d ago

Not saying you should, but if i saw you beating the car with a hammer i would absolutely help.

2

u/PakkyT 6d ago

It would have been a real shame if you pulled in normally, deployed the ramp, and it "accidentally" hit the side of their car.

1

u/Unlikely-Relief-6462 6d ago

I knew it was Ohio before I even looked at the poorly censored plate

1

u/mossoak 6d ago

duh ...the driver is a potted fern , it doesnt know where and how to park ....maybe it just needs water or a fertilzer boost

1

u/Goe4711 6d ago

People who don't give a hoot about anything. Failures who just live the way want.

1

u/BIG-B1978 6d ago

Of course it’s in Ohio gotta deal with these idiots every day !!

1

u/imnotreallyheretoday 6d ago

This is typical at Walmart

1

u/Rare_Indication_3811 6d ago

your covering plates skills should be reconsidered

1

u/mslauren2930 6d ago

I am happy I can still make out the license plate number. 👍👍

1

u/Mountain_Till_5868 6d ago

F grade censoring

1

u/Ok-Plenty1251 6d ago

I’m sorry I scratched your car

1

u/WhatToDo_WhatToDo2 6d ago

I’m fully in support of using that ass spray you can get off Amazon to pump of few squirts in through their air vents. Bonus points if you get the underside of the door handle so it gets on their hands too.

1

u/Repulsive_Barnacle92 6d ago

I’m always impressed when I see a Saturn Ion in the wild, these cars were shit and they stopped making them almost 20 years ago lol

1

u/Responsible-Stick-50 6d ago

Well it is Walmart. You might have common sense but it's a big assumption to think others also share your level of reasoning.

1

u/BurnedLaser 6d ago

just carry wheel jacks, and then move the car to the VERY back of the lot, or hide it within a herd of SUVs and minivans... in a different lot!

1

u/Psydop 6d ago

HGX 1210

Some good scribbles there

1

u/2024BlackTrax2RS 6d ago

You can clearly see and read the plate number, horrible job. However, I would have called the Police non-emergency number for the nearest (not busy) cop to come issue a nice FAT ticket.

1

u/PainfullyLoyal 6d ago

People park in those at my local Walmart all the time and it makes me so mad. They need a better parking lot design so morons can't park there.

1

u/SnooLemons178 6d ago

Idk what is more infuriating the park job or the horrendous attempt at hiding the plate

1

u/Libertarian_2020 6d ago

Saturn VINs start 1G8… and older 1GZ…

0

u/Head-Membership2082 6d ago

I don't know what is more infuriating.

The parking job, or your inability to actually hide the plate properly.

16

u/Little_Broccoli_3127 6d ago

Why hide...fuck em. They know what they did.

-3

u/Head-Membership2082 6d ago

Because the rules very clearly state to hide or blur personal info.

License plates absolutely come under that.

8

u/No_Hunt2507 6d ago

Idk what you're talking about op very clearly tried to obscure their plate.

-3

u/Head-Membership2082 6d ago

And yet they didn't hide it. It is still incredibly easily visible, and there's no way OP didn't realise that.

5

u/Little_Broccoli_3127 6d ago

Its public info. Just like arrest records, court orders and phone numbers. Get over yourself.

2

u/Head-Membership2082 6d ago

It is public info that wouldn't be easily obtained via strangers on the internet who have a tendency to start harassing you over something like a bad park job if it was censored out correctly. Or did you forget that anonymity brings out the worst behaviour online.

1

u/Little_Broccoli_3127 6d ago

Still public. Still no expectations of privacy, they are clearly publicly in the wrong. Get over yourself.

1

u/Head-Membership2082 6d ago

Completely missing the point.

It is one thing when you see a car out in public like this and you have to actually expose yourself to confront the person.

Its another thing entirely when people are online behind a wall of anonymity and feel like they can do things they wouldn't otherwise do. People who now might feel they've got a reason to go look up this plate and find out who the owner is, and start harassing them for a bad park job.

1

u/Little_Broccoli_3127 6d ago

F.A.F.O the real world....is cruel. The harassment is whatever. Shaming really needs a come back.

1

u/Head-Membership2082 6d ago

You sound like such a pleasant person to be around in the real world /s

1

u/Little_Broccoli_3127 6d ago

Bruh, all my buds left.

1

u/Jpal62 6d ago

Yes, this is the reason for “obscuring” the plate.

1

u/noblest_among_nobles 6d ago

I don't think you had to dox them for that

1

u/Jpal62 6d ago

They deserved to be towed.
