An abandoned car at Snohomish County Park (Perrinville)

This beat up hulk of a car has been abandoned off Olympic View Drive at Snohomish County Park. I’m unsure how they decided this was a good idea. But I wish to expound on the likely outcomes of this decision. 

  1. The car has been ticketed 
  2. The city will track them down, and that will be paid. 
  3. The car will be towed
  4. The owners will get that bill…and the storage costs. 
  5. That, too, will be paid. By force if necessary. Civil judgements carry some weight and the possibility of wage garnishment. 

What could’ve been dealt with at a relatively low cost (wrecking yard…they had no problem towing it) or even free (all those vehicle donation programs) is going to end up costing a huge amount more. 

Short sided decision which will have long term negative repercussions. 

Sigh
