Kicker - Wrong place to set anchor

NICK EICHER, HOST: Police near L.A. recently had a vehicle towed after they found it abandoned—no registration—right next to a “No Parking” sign.

I mean, c’mon.

And worse, someone had tethered it to the sign with a nylon strap.

Now, a typical tow truck couldn’t haul this vehicle away. That’s because it wasn’t a typical vehicle.

It was a boat—motor boat, parked on the street—and not on a trailer, directly on top of the asphalt.

The Irwindale Police Dept. tweeted—and I will quote here—"Ahoy, you can't park there!”

No word whether the penalty for the infraction is walking the plank.

It’s The World and Everything in It.
