subtle hints...

Some background info helpful for understanding this post:

  1. I park in an underground garage at our condo (which is good, because it gets downright frigid in the MN winters).
  2. The parking in the underground garage is assigned.
  3. The person(s) assigned to the spot to the left of me likes to park on the line (as evidenced in this picture).

So, about two weeks ago, I pulled into my parking spot and noticed they were missing a hubcap. The next day Ryan happened to be with me and he also commented on the missing hubcap. Last week, I observed that a second hubcap was missing on the same side of the car, just a different tire. It makes me wonder where these people are driving/parking to lose hubcaps. Thankfully, I still have all of mine.

So, my dilemma – I’m debating leaving a note on this person’s windshield that reads, “Dearest neighbor: I appreciate your peace bumper sticker. I’m sure you’re a very nice person, and I’ve noticed your car is always impeccably clean. I’ll quit stealing your hubcaps if you quit parking over the line. Love, your neighbor.”

Ugh - how annoying. It is not THAT hard to park *between* the lines, people!
