No idea, Posting was pretty much the same as on here, no offensive language and no threats. I am waiting to hear from the administrator. Supposedly she is going to send me a message tonight.She pointed the finger at someone else. I am banking on hearing NOTHING.

You've gotta be kidding. All you did was risk your life and dedicate years of your life for our country and this idiot leaves you a note like that, they have no rite to touch your property. You owe nobody any explanation at all for parking in a handicapped spot even if you went inside and forgot your placard. They have no rite to play Barney Fife and question you at all. People really have gotten outta hand. You know the one who left that note is probably up to their necks in illegal activities and is trying to cover it up by messing with you. Like Gracie said They deserve a good smack down but then again they might like it. Bastards! Thank for making the way we live our lives possible. With all Respect.

Told that by posting the comment I was accusing someone in the face book group. Basically she was more concerned if I still had the note and if I was in the wrong. Good face book group to avoid.

Dang! Talk about a mob mentality. Lot's of vitriol. If you're really that bad off that you need a handicap permit, then sorry for your inconvenience. You can blame the many placard users that hop out of their car and walk briskly into the stores for an hour of shopping, or the placard users that take up a HC spot while their 25 yo son runs into the convenience store. HC parking has exploded in this country. It is either because of abuse of the system, or the USA has become a very unhealthy country. Definitely more enforcement and scrutiny is needed in this area. BTW, before you tell me that this is my imagination, the government announced it is going to increase scrutiny of SS disability claimants due to suspicion of fraud and abuse.

You are 100% right, lots of folks using the system. I earned my disabled from a Purple Heart. Worked 30 plus years until my injuries won out.

Totally inexcusable if your handicapped placard or license plate were visible.

I am sorry someone left a note on your car. Why would they? If you were parked in a handicapped parking space, and you have disabled license plate, you do not need a placard on your mirror. We have the plate, so we don't have to use the placard.

Exactly what I can't figure out. Got the PLATE, parked in ONE space. If someone though I was don't something illegal call the local police. I don't use a placard since in my prior development in NJ someone stole it through the sunroof.

It's still excusable. What if a severely handicapped person forgot to hang the placard on the rear view mirror for whatever reason. The person who notices this epic event should feel free to observe but not approach the forgetful person. Back up & think. If it is so ground shaking that you find the need to share your undercover work I think the best move would be to call someone who has the AUTHORITY to question the criminal parking spot offender. You, the undercover bonehead investigator are not that person. People's lives are rough enough put your time into trying to help someone less fortunate than yourself.

I don't think there is a law that makes leaving a nonthreatening note on someone's windshield illegal....yet.
