Walking out of the office today to go grab some lunch, I saw a first for me in downtown St. Louis. Across the street, in the heart of the hotel and business district, four blocks from Busch Stadium, there it was in all its glory. A car without tires, up on blocks and/or rocks, loaded down with tickets was sitting in front of an expired meter.
I guess the tires were the easiest part to sell (and remove). I couldn't tell if the stereo had been ripped out of the dash, but I'm guessing it was. I blame the recession. Times are tough, and cars are easy to steal. The best part is that I'm thinking this car is going to be there for a while. Without tires, it's going to be hard to tow. Today is day 1. Let's see if it lasts out there for a month ...
