    So today I walked off-base in front of Yokosuka to stop by 7-11.

    As I am walking, I noticed a Y plate vehicle parked right there along side the wrong, where you SHOULD NOT BE PARKED, and it had a warning sticker on there from the Japanese police.



    I then spoke with a friend, who told me it has been parked there illegally since last Thursday, almost a week now.

    So I tried to do the right thing, and as I walked back to the base I stopped into the front gate security office.

    Spoke with the supervisor on watch, and explained to him that the car has been sitting there parked illegally right in front of the main gate, and already has warning stickers on it.



    His answer, "Not much we can do." 

    I said, "So is that because its the Japanese polices problem?  Its right there..  Doesnt it make the base look bad, having stickers on it.." 

    He said, "We have to wait until they call the base, or to one of our liaison to get it taken care of."

    --------------
    So here I am, trying to do the right thing by going in and it was a complete waste of time.

    I personally dont think it looks good having those stickers piled up on the vehicles directly across the street with a Y plate.  Especially if you look at image and see he didnt even park that close to the side.  Its literally half way in the road.  1 day, sure he may of made a mistake, but come on dude..  1 week you leave the car sitting there like that.  

    For those people that can make this car go away, please do what you do.    I know this will get the eyes it needs to, and get it handled appropriately.  The guy at the front gate definitely didnt handle it the way I would of expected him to.

    I know right?!!

    Parked illegally once for like an hour and my car was ticketed AND towed.  30000 yen later... I consider that lesson learned.

    /Haven't done it since.

    Woah, what's up with the Y Plate person to have their car parked there for so long?? They HAD to know it was illegal.

    Hope they didn't leave with the fleet. :|

    FWIW, the car was gone when I drove in this morning. Not sure if it was finally towed or pushed elsewhere.

    I would think that the guy on watch should have been able to look up the plate number and get some contact info, then go to the command.

    Does Security have that kind of power? To contact someones command and demand/force them to move their vehicle that is parked OFF BASE? I would like to think not, but then again this command is one of a kind.
