Administrators Gail Posted April 8, 2008 Administrators Posted April 8, 2008 My son, who lives in Monrovia, Liberia, sends me a message this morning saying, "Do you want to know what the police do when you park in the wrong spot?" I said, "I give up! What do the police do?" He said, "Slash your tires, steal your battery and take your car." This happened to one of my son's staff for parking in front of the Ministry of Finance building. I think our parking fines here are cheaper. Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Woody Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Thank God for the good ol' United States and our parking policies. Tell you son that Liberia's policies are not nearly as bad as those in Northern Ireland when I lived there. If you were parked in a place that required one person to be in the car at all times ... and you were not present .... they would take your car and blow it up just for the fun of it. No more car ....

fccool Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Why would they slash tires steal the battery, and then take the underivable car? Wouldn't it be more rational to just tow it like they do here? Quote
Woody Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I have to wonder if some of the public got to the car before the authorities did. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

I have long stopped trying to figure out the logic of the Liberian culture Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
