| Costa Mesa has Buckled under Pressure and Embarrassment |
| 2009-02-05 |
| The city of Costa Mesa has agreed to waive all fees and allow my daughter to get her out of impound and returned to her rightful ownership. IT was approximately $1550 plus other admin costs, which now can be spent on that which she had originally intended it....on her pursuit of a degree and either an MBA or a Juris Doctorate... Thanks for all of your concerns and advice. I would also like to think that being embarrassed by the public scrutiny for their money grubbing ways on Rantburg also contributed to this largess |

| #10 Thanks for all of the kind words. She went from shear terror and tears of frustration and fear to tears of joy when she got the call from the Costa Mesa police. I personally think that someone on the Police Dept smelled a rat. She'd only lived in that apartment about two weeks and a policeman drives down an alley to find her car? Personally the person that deserves the thanks is the police LT that thought something was fishy and did some checking...obviously...some kind of scam and kick back scheme with some tow service. Anyway, next time I'll post something more meaty and interesting to the "Burg" in general. |

| #7 It's nice you'll be able to keep the Benz and hold onto a few dollars with the California income tax rebate IOU and all. I wonder how many Californians will be changing thier W-4 Withholding tax? Ole 2009 might be a real lean year for the California tax coffers. |
