Imagine waking up to a fresh snow fall, breathing in that cool exhilarating winter air, looking around to take in the day…and realizing your car and 199 other are gone.  Well if you live in Albany New York, this may have actually happened to you.  The city was under a snow emergency that bans cars from parking on city streets.  While the city did make this clear to the citizens by posting the information on placards in high traffic areas, this was apparently not enough warning for some.  A case in point, as told by cbs6albany.com, is this driver who knew what was going to happen but apparently wanted to hear about it again…from other sources:

“I was hoping they would wait until daytime to take my car because that’s when everyone goes to work,” said one driver. “Everybody’s sleeping and everyone’s stealing our cars in the middle of the night. I know I was warned, but I feel like they should have given us a better warning.”

Is that what this country has come to?  You have the information, you know what is about to happen…but you need to hear it again, from another source if possible?  This should serve as a warning to anyone who lives in a part of the country prone to excessive snow.  If they tell you to move your car…move it, unless you want to be standing in the snow with 199 other people waiting to get your car back.  It’s easier just to move it!
