Body Discovered in Ticketed Car

2006_05_parkingmeter.jpgHmm, we guess the cops who ticket cars don't really pay attention to how it smells, as the police discovered that a car with many tickets actually had a dead, decomposing body in it. In the end, a passer-by complained about the smell, and police found the body, covered by a blanket in what the Post says was the rear of a Toyota Camry (we're not sure if that means the backseat or the trunk). A neighbor told the Post, "You mean to tell me they put tickets on there and they didn't smell it? We didn't even know there was a dead body in it. It just smelled like a dead mouse or a rat or something."

Police think the death was a suicide.

    No surprise that the dead body was left there by the meter maids. Having worked for the city in the past, I know that the attitude among many city workers is that if it isn't part of my job, I'm not going to deal with it.
