Malicious trespass of property by parking pirates, on the streets of Indianapolis costs motorists thousands of dollars every month and some means of checking this enormous waste should be devised, according to Todd Stoops, manager of the Hocsler Motor Club. "Any one who will take the time to watch motorists park and pull out from the curb will see plenty of

damage inflicted upon the car In front or the car behind the space where the parker desires to leave or enter,” said Stoops, "and sometimes the damage Is seemingly done with malice of forethought. “It le an old story with the police department to hear a defendant say that he did not park In front of a fire plug.

or he may plead guilty and try to forget it or get even with some other motorist, i Now let us Stand around on the street near some Are plug and see what really happens. Here we see the fire plug with two cars parked on either side at the proper distance. Behind one of the cars nearest the plug Is space enough for parking another automobile, almost. Along comes a motorist desiring to park and he gauges the parkI Ing space with his eyes and believes I that he can make it. He Soon finds however, that his car will not fit unless he pushes one of the cars out of his way. He finds It easier to push the car nearest the fire plug, which he does, and leaves the spot | to let the motorist with prior park 1 lng privileges to suffer the consequences of being too close to a fire ! plug. “The same thing happens to motorists who park next to alleya. They often come back to find their automobile pushed far back Into t))e traveled space of the alley. "Sometimes one may see an awkward or careless motorist leaving the cur p. He has plenty of room to get away, provided he will take sev- J eral hitches, but that Is hard on his , muscles and tires, so he rams the j back end of the car In front, battem down the fenders, smashes the tall light and leaves the scene of depre- I datlon without a sign of remorse. Other times the careless parker will back Into a parked car to the damage of headlights and fenders. It Is safe to say that the damages to automobiles caused by parking on the streets equals the damages caused by wrecks and collisions. “At least two feet should be allowed at both ends of the car when parking and most motorists try to observe this rule. But the man who must park someplace will come along and push cars ahead to make
