Default Big thanks from a disabled vet

I just wanted to thank the person who left the note on my car at the seabreeze rec center on saturday. I am so very happy you are watching my car and will continue to do so to verify if i am disabled and have a disabled placard. My suggestion is that you call the department of motor vehicles or better yet the local police before you leave harassing notes on a car. No need to thank me for my service your "nice" note said it all.

I'm grateful for your service.
Don't let the one or two knuckleheads in the crowd ruin your day.
Besides, if everyone who was grateful left a note on your car, your windshield wipers would get bent.

This is beyond disgraceful. I know there are some real a...............s living here, but this is unbelievable. What a pity you did not return to your car in time to confront the ignoramus who did this to you.

Please allow me to thank you for your service.

Did you forget to display your placard? I can understand someone wanting to protect the handicapped spots from abuse and, hopefully, this was the case here even though it sounds like a kinder note could have been left. Having lived with a disabled mother, I sincerely appreciated those who cared enough to make sure someone was entitled to park in a handicapped spot. Sorry, just not enough facts given to condemn anyone.

Thank you for your service and please don't think twice about some unkind and nasty person.


If I had been there, I would have smacked them good.

Leaving notes on anyone's car is generally creepy.

Sounds like another of those who feel they can tell just by looking if someone is disabled or not. If they observed you entering or leaving your vehicle, it's kind of cowardly to leave a note instead of asking you in person. Then they'd just be really rude instead of what they showed themselves to be.

Thank you for your service. Some people have nothing better to do with their time than mind other people's business.
