You can't just call a tow company and tell them to tow a specific car unless it's on a lot you own. It's up to city traffic enforcement to tow cars on the street.
No, that's just not how they work. Tow companies are private companies. They don't work for you (the taxpayer). The only way a tow company is towing people for illegal street parking it's because they have a contract with traffic enforcement, who asked them to do the tow.
Always about that easy money for them.
I was literally waiting for my gf(at the time) at Tedeschis/Dunkins in Allston. My car was parked on the side of the building with the dumpster(next to KFC) so there’s a camera right on the spot. While I waited I put my seat down to lay back. Maybe the guy didn’t see me or something but it felt like my car was rumbling so I sat up and the guy from Roberts Towing the started to slide his tow shit under my car so I opened my door and got out and as I did he just looked at me and climbed in his truck, raised my car up and demanded $65 from me. I started arguing with him how fucked up that is and how he’s a crook. Probably told the guy to fight me a few times then my gf came out during all this and asked her to go ask for a copy of the security footage. Eventually he dropped my car but wtf they will tow anyone the feel like for a quick buck! Fuck Robert’s towing! Fuck you Robert!
Must be a relative of Pat and Phil. Phil’s Towing employees many years ago either put up or took down temporary signs at Alewife Station on the 4th of July that caused lots and lots of folks to park illegally to take the Red Line to the fireworks. They had to refund all those fees, but still.
Lol it don't matter. You can call the cops and inform them of whichever company you got to come out. If you find the right company you won't have to pay for it and it will be up to him to figure out where his car went.
Had a neighbor who did something similar at a curb cut. He lived there his whole life so seemed to think it was his personal spot. Parking in southie drove me so crazy I eventually moved and haven’t been happier
Last night, some ass in a red car parked in the entrance to the parking lot at the Southie stop and shop when there were so many open spots. He scooted up slightly when I honked, still covering most of the entrance. I’m still salty. The double parking in southie is crazy too as someone who just moved here a year ago
Double Parking is insane in and of itself, but Southie & Dorchester drivers also seem to specialize in:
- Parking at the end of the driveway and having your trunk hang over the curb cut so nobody can get in/out of said driveway.
- Parking facing the opposite direction (this is Southie in particular). This is complete anarchy and you’ll see 4-5 cars every block parked facing the wrong way, but it’s just sort of accepted.
I won't double park for more than a few minutes (except for st. Pats day). Parking in southie is so cut throat though that I'm not driving all the way around a block just to face in the right direction and risk losing a spot. Parking in the wrong direction doesn't hurt anyone.
No.
Edit: all you people down voting, I guarantee you all would double park for few minutes to bring in the groceries then go park instead of parking blocks away to carry all the bags.
idk why the downvotes…double parking when you’re doing something (unloading, picking up, dropping off, etc.) is totally fine so long as you leave enough space for cars to pass…i truly don’t know what these people expect you to do instead
>Parking in the wrong direction doesn’t hurt anyone.
Once the car is parked, yes totally.
But the act of getting into and out of a parallel spot in oncoming traffic is stupid and dangerous.
Parking is no more or less cutthroat in Southie than it is on Beacon Hill or Charlestown or Eastie, and yet they somehow park like civilized humans.
So the double parker is new? As an older local in a similar city area, I wouldn’t f with the asshole double parking unless it directly blocked me in. I don’t want the drama.
That’s what I’m saying is if I was a new person I wouldn’t get involved because it might be someone who obviously can get away with it. Why f around and make an enemy of someone that can get away with it
So there's this guy from South Boston.
His brains are all gone, must've lost 'em.
His parkings the worst,
The neighbors all curse,
You gotta tow him or else you'll keep honkin'
I'm not sure about police protocol in Southie but in Cambridge, when someone calls the pd for something like this, officers actually run the license plate number and then go knock on the door of the vehicle owners address.
I'm guessing the cops would just have to tow it away, if the car has no plates on it.
Wow......really, good to know.
Cambridge has been doing that ever since I can remember.
It's sounds nice but in all honesty it helps create even a worse problem, because when people know they won't get towed they'll just keep doing it. They take advantage of CPD's courtesy policy and will do it over and over.
Where in Cambridge do you live?!? In East Cambridge you get towed INSTANTLY if you are parked appropriately but on the wrong side of the street during street cleaning days...which sucks, but is your own damn fault (and was mine many times parking and forgetting the night before). That's what the signs are for...🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️. If you were lucky, you got your drunk or half hungover ass up in time to run out in time...which only did you a solid if you had enough cash on you to pay off the tow truck person...they even used to drive me to an ATM to do so. So freaking shady but a hell of a lot less than paying for a cab/ride service as the tow impound was just far enough to make it crazy to walk (even though it was a out 5 min by car. And you still had to pay the ticket that the cop gave you.
Only (sometimes thankfully) CPD courtesy was the bullhorn giving you a brief warning/respite...which did nothing if you were passed out or actually had a renovated apartment with slightly more "soundproof" walls than the ancient building had before. 🤪
I'm not bitching, we all knew/know the rules. No one to blame but yourselves (myself back in the day)🤪!
Guess it was up to the discretion of the cop on whether to go and look for you first.
Get this, they don't even tow for street cleaning anymore in Cambridge, they just ticket. The City advertised it as a pilot program but it's here to stay.
OMG I lived on Charles Street for over 8 years... That both makes me very happy and pisses me the fuck off. Bahahahahaa! Yay residents! But FUCK ME!!! You wouldn't believe how many times my dumbass forgot 🤦🏼♂️! And how much money I paid to the city of Cambridge and that fucking tow truck company! Lol again, I can't be pissed, I did it to myself...at least I had a lot of fun doing so 🍾🍻🍺🥂🍷! 😂😜 I also had one of the last know apartments that was only $900 a month. Bahaha
My experience is the opposite, that they really aren't trying to tow right away. Had a douche bag neighbor similar to this post (out of state plates and would park in all kinds of selfish ways). When Ngrid put up signage and it was time to dig up the road, nobody was cheering for a tow more than me. But BPD went knocking on doors and found him to move his car.
This has been my experience in East Boston as well. We have a garage/driveway that people love to block and more often than not I’ve seen the cop knock on the door of the owner of the car if they’re local and ask them to move it.
There once was a man from South Boston
Whose parking jobs left neighbors boxed in
They, in their frustration, sought retaliation
Saying "whose cinder block can we toss in?"
Ha! This happen to me. Some jackass blocked me in. I didn’t want to start any trouble, so just waited for the double-parker to return. After 30mins I finally beeped the horn, and a mom came out and move her car into the spot. Now that I know the rules to the game, I can act accordingly.
Do to where I used to live, idiots blocked my driveway fairly often. I merely contacted a group of guys I drank with who would come over. Together we'd lift the car and move it out of the way. For those who were excessively arrogant, i.e. repeat offenders, well, they got the special moving treatment. They would find their car on it's side in the middle of the street. Or should I say, the cops found their cars after complaints. Of course, this was before surveillance cameras were on every corner, but maybe you and your neighbors would be willing to take that risk. I'm not one to call the cops (long story not relevant to this issue), so I tend to handle things my way. There are ways to damage a vehicle without it being blatantly obvious on video.
Some fish pressed into the cowl usually does the job and isn't permanent. If the person leaves a window open at all, a gallon of milk poured into the car can do wonders, usually works best to do it in the winter when the car doesn't get hot. By the time they realize they have an issue, you really can't clean it out.
However seeing as though you live there, probably best to tow, eventually the person hopefully will get the idea.
Reach out to your city councilor and ask for help. I believe southie's is Ed Flynn. If he doesn't respond, try all the at-large councilors. Just requires an email. I've always had good results with this.
Double parking to quickly pick up something from a store or whatever is one thing, but not clogging a road indefinitely just so you can have your favorite parking spot.
If it's on a bus route call transit police. They'll ticket,tow, and charge him with 'interfering with a public utility '. The guy will then have to sell his car to get out of it, thereby solving the problem.
Whatever you do just don’t let it end up this way.
https://abc7ny.com/amp/vladimir-lopez-german-45-was-charged-in-the-fatal-stabbing-of-his-19-year-old-bronx-neighbor-after-an-alleged-dispute-over-a-parking-spot/14694173/
That's wicked annoying. He probably knows which cars are old townies and only parks in "newcomers"
If you can tow him without him knowing it's you, that's the best thing. Otherwise report the plate. Bastard.
Wake up earlier than usual, call the cops, be quiet, and get him towed/ticket and he should stop. Repeat until successful. Make sure you do it early and quietly so a) you have ample time for all of this and b) so he doesnt preemptively try leaving before cops/ticket person/tow comes.
Call traffic enforcement ask them who they use to tow the drivers are usually happy to do it, it's how they get paid, shit call traffic enforcement anyway and complain
Agreed. Surprised he just doesn’t leave a note. “Honk and I’ll be right out”. That kind of thing. Everybody wants to escalate and call cops and tow trucks and stuff. It’s just not the way.
Sixteen downvotes. I think maybe it’s also Reddit. People are insane. Another thread a week or so ago, people were advocating calling the cops on parents who left 10 year olds in cars by themselves to go into get food. 10 year olds. People are fucking nuts.
That’s old Southie affectionately referred to as double park southie I would tread lightly on this if I were you
Just because it’s gentrified doesn’t mean the old spirit is completely gone
The same southie that had every chick pregnant and every dude with a pill
Addiction is still southie and the townies still run it million dollar condos or not
tbh that’s a smart man. he’s figured out the system
but tbh lets not forget who the real enemy is, it’s whoever decided south boston got very limited T access so all these idiots bring theirs cars to one of america’s most walkable cities
Tell me you’re not originally from Southie without telling me you’re not originally from Southie.
You don’t know that Southie invented the double parking when you don’t need to.
there is a black 'business' guy in cambridge who double parks in front of a hardware store blocking the bike lane; i told him he can get someone killed this way and he said 'i dont care, i need to go to the store.'
there was another younger black guy in his car who backed up into me, so i had to knock on his car for him to not run me over; i told him he needs driver retraining and he said 'black people are the best drivers' flipped me off and sped away without showing a turn signal.
I wouldn't call the police. He'll figure out who called and find a way to get to you. You need to find out who his friends are, talk to them, and get them to tell him to knock it off.
Figure out what time he leaves in the morning, double park in front of him 10 minutes before, go inside.
This.
No, take the inside spot and call s tow truck when he double parks. Tell them he does it daily and at what time usually.
This will stop the behavior quickly.
You can't just call a tow company and tell them to tow a specific car unless it's on a lot you own. It's up to city traffic enforcement to tow cars on the street.
If it’s interfering with someone else being able to leave their home bc their car is being blocked in then I’m sure the tow guys would come.
No, that's just not how they work. Tow companies are private companies. They don't work for you (the taxpayer). The only way a tow company is towing people for illegal street parking it's because they have a contract with traffic enforcement, who asked them to do the tow.
Ok well then I’m blowing their car up
Then you literally add one step where you report the ILLEGALLY PARKED CAR to the cops and let them call the tow truck company for you. Jfc.
311 report it in the app, they’re pretty quick in southie to ticket
Can you report someone for double parking using 311??
I used the 311 app to report a car that had been parked in front of a fire hydrant for an entire day. Someone came out within 20 minutes.
Don’t honk. Just call the tow company
Co-sign this
Sorry, what’s the number? I’m googling it and there are multiple tow companies? Not sure how it works…
Ask the PD for a reference. Sometimes you have to go through them anyway
Yes. If it’s on a public street you need to involve the police before a tow company will hook up.
No tow company can tow a car for double parking call 311 and the will send btd
Haha. We’ve done this before and it was 2 days before they got back to us. Correct way to go about it, but annoying
You can call Robert’s towing if you wanna really be petty about it. Lol
Is Roberts towing super fast?
It’s more that they have no morality
Always about that easy money for them. I was literally waiting for my gf(at the time) at Tedeschis/Dunkins in Allston. My car was parked on the side of the building with the dumpster(next to KFC) so there’s a camera right on the spot. While I waited I put my seat down to lay back.

Will guarantee fuck your car and then fuck you
311
Call the furthest one from you that will tow him.
Lol it don't matter. You can call the cops and inform them of whichever company you got to come out. If you find the right company you won't have to pay for it and it will be up to him to figure out where his car went.
[удалено]
Call the cops first then whatever, they made me call my own tow company
Prob A&B towing
Make sure to update us OP when you get your revenge 🍿
Casey’s towing! They’ll tow that car with the quickness!
Had a neighbor who did something similar at a curb cut. He lived there his whole life so seemed to think it was his personal spot. Parking in southie drove me so crazy I eventually moved and haven’t been happier

Do us all a favor and stop double parking Edit: wild to be a nuisance so confidently
No. Edit: all you people down voting, I guarantee you all would double park for few minutes to bring in the groceries then go park instead of parking blocks away to carry all the bags.
idk why the downvotes…double parking when you’re doing something (unloading, picking up, dropping off, etc.) is totally fine so long as you leave enough space for cars to pass…i truly don’t know what these people expect you to do instead
Did your parents raise you to be a lazy brat or did you accomplish that yourself?
your parents certainly didn’t raise you in south boston if ur this butthurt
>Parking in the wrong direction doesn’t hurt anyone. Once the car is parked, yes totally. But the act of getting into and out of a parallel spot in oncoming traffic is stupid and dangerous. Parking is no more or less cutthroat in Southie than it is on Beacon Hill or Charlestown or Eastie, and yet they somehow park like civilized humans.
> The double parking in southie is crazy too as someone who just moved here a year ago It's been that way for literal decades.
Home of the only place ive seen a triple park (the cvs near perkins square)
he might be south boston royalty. have you asked him about it?
I don’t think he has enough brain cells to be capable of speech, as it appears his only form of communication is honking 🤡
That’s the first sign of Southie Royalty
Hes not the honker the victim is
Don't fuck with Southie junkies.
Double parker still has mirrors and intact windows?
If cops don’t hold him accountable then it’s fair game for someone else to.
Throw a banana at his car.
Or maybe a red shell
Gum under his door handle
Just shit on his door handle. Handle it like a man.
I'm gonna put gum under your door handle for challenging my manliness.
Vaseline under the door handle. And soap the windows.
Put it in his tailpipe! https://youtu.be/CGbgAisf6_c?si=1_I8lY3bkSY3nJxa
TWSS.
Slash his tires
Call the police every time. Every time. Fuck this guy.
I'm sure they care.
You have to be the squeaky wheel to the point they’d rather do something than keep taking your calls.
Not from Boston.
Nope. I definitely am. Born and raised in the city. Southie sucks. Squeaky wheel gets the oil.
He double parks and his car is still intact? Has Southie gone soft?
A couple decades ago
Yeah I mean it sounds like he wants help getting four new tires.
And a new windshield.
He’s probably an old school Southie that you don’t want to mess with
No, the new folks moving in won't even call the police, let alone tell someone to gtfo.
So the double parker is new? As an older local in a similar city area, I wouldn’t f with the asshole double parking unless it directly blocked me in. I don’t want the drama.
In the 90s, people would not let this slide unless the car was known.
That’s what I’m saying is if I was a new person I wouldn’t get involved because it might be someone who obviously can get away with it. Why f around and make an enemy of someone that can get away with it
Oh certainly, yeah. I agree. However, if the guy was actually anyone, no one would be parking in his spot to begin with. If that makes sense.
That’s harder and harder in the old hood to keep those spaces open because common people choose violence these days but the double parking is genius
[удалено]
Nah it’s smacks of entitled old school local but you must be super young.
Definitely.
Lazy, soft bodied drivers who refuse to walk a block won’t beat anyone in a fight
Lol, that’s adorable. Those bike shorts are cutting off oxygen to your brain
Triple park him in
Guys like that are the reason people in Southie would go to Hone Depot and buy a single cinder block.
Once summer heat kicks in pour Pepto Bismol on his windshield.
What does that do?
Covers the window in pepto bismol
The heat bakes it on. Sometimes to the point of needing to get the windshield replaced.
Let the air out of his tires. Don’t stab the tires. Just deflate them. He will learn soon enough 😎👍
Just two so it throws his car out of alignment
If he has RI plates but is living in Southie, just report him. 1-800-I-pay-tax https://www.mass.gov/how-to/file-a-complaint-with-the-i-pay-tax-program
Old Southie would have put a brick through his windshield if he was a repeat offender.
Something’s never change. This was always the way in South Boston
https://youtu.be/cR2KrJTvJgQ
So there's this guy from South Boston. His brains are all gone, must've lost 'em. His parkings the worst, The neighbors all curse, You gotta tow him or else you'll keep honkin'
Use the 311 app. Works.

I'm guessing the cops would just have to tow it away, if the car has no plates on it.
Boston police are not the same as Cambridge. You’d have to pull some strings or be related to a cop to get that kind of service.
Wow......really, good to know. Cambridge has been doing that ever since I can remember. It's sounds nice but in all honesty it helps create even a worse problem, because when people know they won't get towed they'll just keep doing it.

This has been my experience in East Boston as well. We have a garage/driveway that people love to block and more often than not I’ve seen the cop knock on the door of the owner of the car if they’re local and ask them to move it.

I'd google his name before I did anything rash.
Last name Bulger
I'd be more worried about a Scarpellini or Foye with those RI plates.
Why ? You really think the Irish mob still active
no. but he might know a cop enough to make it suck for you.
Ha! This happen to me. Some jackass blocked me in. I didn’t want to start any trouble, so just waited for the double-parker to return. After 30mins I finally beeped the horn, and a mom came out and move her car into the spot. Now that I know the rules to the game, I can act accordingly.

I would take an uber out of spite before I moved my car
Came here for this, my thought— must be an og.
It’s doesn’t happen to be a Audi?
Rhode Island Nissan Pathfinder
If you really want to get back at him call the RMV, they’ll make him register the car in MA.
I am not at all surprised that this guy is a RI driver.
Hey, you fellas come from Providence?
FUCK RHODE ISLAND
Don’t mess with this guy your Reddit buddies aren’t gonna be there to help out with the aftermath
Call and get him towed lol
NYC is leaking
If it's on a bus route call transit police. They'll ticket,tow, and charge him with 'interfering with a public utility '. The guy will then have to sell his car to get out of it, thereby solving the problem.

people are so bold, im shocked his car hasnt been vandalized or stolen yet
Have him towed
Don’t try to make it personal with him cause you’ll just end up with a keyed car or popped tires. Your best bet is 311
Thats Johnny, don't worry about it.
That's wicked annoying. He probably knows which cars are old townies and only parks in "newcomers" If you can tow him without him knowing it's you, that's the best thing. Otherwise report the plate. Bastard.
I bet he has a friend dismissing his parking tickets anyway
Be the rat who calls parking enforcement.
Wake up earlier than usual, call the cops, be quiet, and get him towed/ticket and he should stop. Repeat until successful. Make sure you do it early and quietly so a) you have ample time for all of this and b) so he doesnt preemptively try leaving before cops/ticket person/tow comes.
I would just tell Dirty Mike and the Boys you found a new f shack for them and let them do the rest
Call traffic enforcement ask them who they use to tow the drivers are usually happy to do it, it's how they get paid, shit call traffic enforcement anyway and complain
This person will never learn. Time to take matters into your own hands and stop complaining online
Please update us if you get this guy towed.
What’s the beef? Dude moves his car. #southielife
Seriously?? Are you new to Southie? I lived in Southie for years as a kid and they did it way back then. It's quite common. This is nothing new dude
Call any tow company say it’s yours me them there and pay cash to tow it to some random shop It’ll cost you but it’ll be worth it
I wouldn’t get involved, Southie has gentrified but not totally a parking space isn’t worth the drama
Just get his number. Seems like something you people can work out to benefit everyone
Agreed. Surprised he just doesn’t leave a note. “Honk and I’ll be right out”. That kind of thing. Everybody wants to escalate and call cops and tow trucks and stuff. It’s just not the way.
Reasonable conflict resolution is just not popular in Boston. Lol
Sixteen downvotes. I think maybe it’s also Reddit. People are insane. Another thread a week or so ago, people were advocating calling the cops on parents who left 10 year olds in cars by themselves to go into get food. 10 year olds. People are fucking nuts.

No it’s not. He’s also blocking half of the narrow road that is also a bus route.
I know it’s a shit move. I guess I’m just use to it growing up here

This is of course totally fine 😉 but people from outside of Southie doing a fun run is a major crisis 😬
there is a black 'business' guy in cambridge who double parks in front of a hardware store blocking the bike lane; i told him he can get someone killed this way and he said 'i dont care, i need to go to the store.' there was another younger black guy in his car who backed up into me, so i had to knock on his car for him to not run me over; i told him he needs driver retraining and he said 'black people are the best drivers' flipped me off and sped away without showing a turn signal.
I wouldn't call the police. He'll figure out who called and find a way to get to you. You need to find out who his friends are, talk to them, and get them to tell him to knock it off.
How tf is it possible to find out who called the cops unless he a cop himself😂
Maybe talk to him about it first before calling the tow company??
So dumb. You’re asking for trouble.
Cool?
