Actually there are "watchdogs" (or as I prefer to call them nosey busybodies or PC wingnuts) at work in the DOL that report anyone with more than 2 or 3 cars registered to one address. Then there is the bylaw officers who use the satellite photos to inspect everyone's yard to see if any changes have occurred and blue or white tarps attract their immediate attention that possible un-permitted construction is going on. (and the city is losing money because you didn't buy a permit or bri... uh financially enhance anyone) They probably think you're running a business and making money they aren't getting a part of and poisoning the environment, unlike those nice guys who mix stuff together and leave the rubbish behind in crackhouses and meth labs. You are less likely to shoot at them and probably have a proven source of income they can tak... uh put a lien against and fines for having fun.

Your name comes with your posts. Hmmmm, I'd bet mine does, too. Good luck with code enforcement. I was talking with a friend before he moved to Wyoming (or Montana? somewhere really out there!). He called the town about property lines before selling. The lady on the line told him exactly where his property lines where, in relation to the home made plywood tiny tugboat he had on his property. They used satellite view and could tell exactly what was on his property and where. Including his work truck, two utility trailers, a dock and a tugboat. Not being paranoid about it, but there are so many simple and free ways to see what exactly is in almost anybody's yard. Maybe not live, real-time views, but at least a fairly recent snapshot. I did a streetview of my house, and can see my cars in the driveway. It is not realtime, as I have more there now (son has the day off work) - but pretty close. I messed with satellite views, but couldn't quite pan in as close as I thought. Anyway - good luck with code enforcement, and I hope you can find good homes for the cars you give up. _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy think 9 to 5 is a cute idea.
