@Midnighter You stated that Abdul Carter was being "targeted" and I asked why. Now I'm asking why haven't you answered? I want to know as that is a strong statement. Why do you think he was being targeted?
You have a gun to shoot Amazon drivers who deliver packages you ordered?
Can the tow truck driver be suspended for targeting?
Not sure. If it was John Tennis, the only tow truck service operating in the 80's, than you would have wanted him suspended. He was much larger than any of of OL or DL during that period of time. Probably still today!
Yes, but it was late in the night, so he’ll only miss the first half of this weekend’s shift.
‘Illegal’? This isn’t public property and not a criminal offense. Also, why was the tow truck driver driving around with his girlfriend at midnight on Saturday?
All students are targeted by these companies.
Student?
That’s cute.
He is a well paid football player. He has the $ to pay for the tow. Spare me the indignation that would lump him together with a chemistry student from Tamaqua who is scraping by.
If I show up at your house and park my car in your front yard, I'm not on public property...however, I am illegally parked.
Maybe his girlfriend was keeping him company while he worked, and the ability to do that is one of the few benefits of his job.
He's not behind my house. Or is he? Let me get my gun and check .... nope, he's not there.
As to why he's behind your house ... I dunno. I'd probably just ask him, like a normal adult human being.
"Hey, is there a reason you're delivering this package in the back rather than at my front door like everyone else?" I'm pretty sure you could get your answer without pew-pewing anyone.
Now, I don't know this for sure, but I'm guessing at some point during your black-out sessions, you were drunk/high-ordering random stuff and, in the special instructions section, you were paranoid that your neighbors would see the new double-headed 20 incher being delivered and typed in "Deliver to the backside. Of the house! Of the house! Although, my mommy will be delivering to my backside later, if you know what I mean! Hey, do you guys deliver weed? I'm hungry. Bring some Takis, too. Love you, delivery dude!"
And now you don't remember doing it.
He is parked at a student housing complex not even in downtown State College. It is massive. There are 600+ residents there (all students). I assume it is a lot like State College Park, which is where I lived one year while at Penn State. If he was 'illegally' parked at such a facility, they seriously do not have enough guest parking spots. And yeah, he's still a student even if he can pay the tow. They probably saw $$$$ when they saw the car he had.
Can I call a tow truck to remove your car from my yard if you're parked there? Probably best if I call the cops. They may want a reasonable effort to find out who owns the vehicle before calling a tow company. You know, like civilized adults.
This is funny, mom’s the Amazon guy. She called them and asked to make a note to drop at the 3 car, not behind the house. We all understand they are casing the place. You cool with Amazon bro behind your house while you’re not home and your moms is in the hot tub in a very private setting?
Can we all agree Midniter has been towed and is still pissed lol
Ah, so you did leave special instructions, and they were bad instructions, but somehow, it's someone else's fault and they're now out to get you, so you need to defend yourself with a gun. From Amazon delivery drivers.
Amazon drivers aren't casing your place.
My mother doesn't live with us, so I'd be surprised to just find her hanging in our hot tub.
How much of a kickback do you think student apartment complex's get from these companies? Easy passive income.
A number of years ago, shortly after building a new house in a new development, we received a delivery of materials to build a Trex deck. The materials were dropped on our driveway and took up at least half of it. I asked all my neighbors if it belonged to them and everyone said no. Since it's a new development, I figured they had to have been misdelivered. There weren't any markings or addresses on the materials, so I called the police. They took a report and basically said I've done everything I can to find an owner, so we can do whatever we want with it. I still waited three weeks, just in case anyone came looking for the materials, before deciding to give the materials to my SIL so she could build a deck at her house in PA. She and her husband packed everything up into a U Haul and took it.
A few weeks later some guy shows up asking about the materials. I told him what happened and to call the cops since I filed a report. That was that.

And was the guy who showed up asking about the materials the tow truck driver in the Abdul Carter incident?
Trying to figure out how this story ties into ... anything ...
Parking at Aspen State College is included with your rent and is unassigned. So, someone was going out of his way to flag unregistered cars at midnight on a Saturday.
Engrish, prease.
Regardless, I'm going off incomplete information ... the recitation of facts from a guy I consider a complete buffoon (at best) ... but if I had to hazard a guess, they're going off bad instructions. Does your mother talk/write incoherently like you do? If so, you're lucky the packages aren't delivered on your roof. If your mother is functional and literate, I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest they interpret "to the garage" as "behind the garage."
If it's a frequent problem at my house and I've gone through the proper channels and posted who/where is doing the towing, then absolutely. Or, are you advocating that every illegally parked vehicle in State College should involve the police? If so, then I hope residents are ready to pay the OT or hire some new officers, as I'm sure it's a very common issue.
I'm learning to decipher, it's actually been worth it.
If a delivery driver is walking in my backyard, I'm annoyed. If he had bad delivery instructions, ok I guess, but I wouldn't know that upon seeing them.
Don't shoot on sight, but it's reasonable to not want strangers walking into your backyard, especially depending on where you live.
If Carter lives there, is allowed to park there, and there was no reason to tow, AWESOME. Tow truck driver bad, Carter good, Penn State football good.
If his car is unregistered or for any reason NOT allowed to park where he was parked, then the tow was legitimate right?
Ok, I peeked to find out what was being talked about and I think you can use some help, so follow these instructions:
To put someone on ignore, mouse over their avatar (for Moogy it's the orange M) and an information box will appear. Pull the mouse down into the box and click on the word "ignore" which is found on the lower left corner next to the word "follow".
Of course the towing was legitimate...but some have an issue with towing, regardless if the car was illegally parked.
No, it wasn't legitimate. The second Carter said he'd pay the drop fee it should have been over. I'm sure it was quite heated before then but assuming he actually agreed to pay, which the video may confirm one way or the other, the driver should have settled down.
I'll bet he was working for the HOA in disguise while looking for your boat trailer.

I have lion Jim and that navy guy on ignore but every post they make I click on “read ignored post” so basically proving I don’t have the discipline to pull it off but thanks the same
LionJim... really? He is top 5 sharpest, most interesting guys on this board.
No one is making fun of your mother. You're spending this thread trying to be a victim, and failing. Shouldn't you be planning your next offensive against the Amazon Army?
I'm making fun of you, for thinking that Amazon drivers are out to get you and your family, and thinking you need a gun to protect yourself from the folks who deliver the packages you order.

I remember why you put me on ignore. You were sharing that the Girl Scouts selling you cookies were casing your home and I said probably not.
You’re giving me way too much credit if you think I’m skillfully opining for sympathy from the Tom board. Not sure where you’re coming from. I hope a vendor, any vendor, strolls into your backyard while you’re on a business trip and strolls up to your moms while she’s solo, assuming you have a private estate style backyard as your Rick does
