[Highland Park] Abandoned vehicles
by Keebler, Emily 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

There have been several messages recently regarding abandoned vehicles. The Police have specific requirements regarding when a car can be towed, which impacts how quickly it is taken care of. I just called the Auto Squad and Zone 5 and confirmed the following requirements for towing and timeframes: Situation Response Car itself is a hazard (i.e. broken glass or exposed engine) Towed immediately to City tow pound Registration and/or inspection expired and VIN number not present Car may be towed immediately and will be investigated by Auto Squad Car is stolen according to VIN report Towed immediately to City tow pound Registration and/or inspection expired for more than 90 days A letter will be sent to owner and car may be removed immediately Registration and/or inspection expired for less than 90 days A letter will be sent to the owner of record notifying them that tow may occur 10 days after date of letter. Tow will typically take place within 2 weeks of letter being sent. Sending suspected abandoned vehicles to 311 is the best way to handle these. The 311 online form recently had a back-up (the start of summer is a busy time), but I was told they were to be caught up by early last week and all cases have been sent to the proper department. After submitting an online form, you should receive two emails - one with a Ticket ID and one with a Service Request Number. (If you call, you will get a Service Request Number while on the phone.) If you used the online method, your case is fully processed when you receive the Service Request Number. If you do not get that email within a few days of submitting the form, please contact our office and we will look into it. If you feel there is a rash of cars being abandoned in one area and a trend needs to be investigated, you can call the city's Auto Squad at 412-255-2911. If you have any other questions, please call our office at 412-255-2140 and we would be happy to look into it.

Re: [Highland Park] gay bashing?
by Justin J. Cummings 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

From what I've heard a mid 20s black male who happens to be gay was attacked by a few teenage thugs around 10 pm friday night near the union project. He was punched on the face, but injuries require hospitalization. Here is a message that I received yesterday. --------- A friend of mine was jumped in East Liberty last night. They didn't try to rob him. There were three kids, two of them crossed the street and then the third, from what I understand, came up behind Joe and pushed him then slugged him in the face. Joe ran into the street away from him and ran home. This happened Friday evening across from the Union Project. There was a small rally last night since the police took forever (I got the call at Gooski's...... and headed over there by bike, and the police didn't get there for a good 30-40 minutes or so after I reckon). But there's gonna be another gathering today at Negley & Stanton. As my friend happens to be queer, it's being taken as another gay bashing incident. It could just be shitty young kids f'ing with people who look hip and nonviolent though. -------- Justin Cummings - Realtor HOWARD HANNA SHADYSIDE 412-418-0596<tel:412-418-0596> (cell) http://www.howardhanna.com/justincummings Sent from my iPhone On Jul 18, 2010, at 4:23 PM, "Amy P.

Per the signs I read, it was apparently in response to a gay bashing incident that occurred there on Friday night. I searched some websites this morning but see no mention of the incident or the demonstration. Does anyone know what happened there? <ATT00001..txt>

Hello, neighbors. My husband and I have come to the realization that we just don't need two cars, so I'm selling mine, the newer of the two. It's a silver gray, 2007 Toyota Corolla CE four-door with automatic transmission, radio and CD player, rear window defrost, nice interior, excellent heat and a/c, currently inspected, has 44,000 miles on it, runs beautifully, no problems. There is a scratch on the driver-side rear door and two shallow little scuffs on the driver-side front fender. The book value is $8300; we are offering the car for $7000. Feel free to email me with any questions you might have. Diane Averill Stanton Avenue
