From the Queens Chronicle:After allegedly slashing the tires of more than eight cars parked in front of his home, Yonathan Lim was escorted out in handcuffs Friday, after angry neighbors urged the police to investigate slashings which they said were too routine to be random.
According to Lim’s neighbor, Bill Weydig, when police finally looked through their records, they discovered slashings had taken place for almost a year on the quiet residential block of Van Loon Street in Elmhurst.
However, it was only after Weydig’s tenant, Margarita Guilarte, who had her tires slashed twice, took Weydig’s security camera footage to police that Lim was apprehended. “She just sat there and refused to leave until they did something,” Weydig said.
Dai-Rong Zheng of Middle Village said his wife, Maiko Morito-Zheng fell victim to the slasher’s rage several weeks ago, but he thought police would not follow up on the incident.
Morito-Zheng waited for several hours for police to arrive to take her report and when they came, Zheng said they didn’t seem to take the incident seriously. “I was doubting anything would happen, because normally they just put these things aside, and I was trying to tell my wife to forget about it, that this is how things are in New York. When I got the call saying they caught him, I apologized to her,” he said.

Leave it to NYC finest to do nothing untill a tax paying citizen makes them.....Way to go NYCPD.
I am glad these folks were persistent. Folks are absolutely crazy with parking spots in front of their homes and go to any lengths to protect them or prevent others from occupying them.
People are outright violent and vindictive when their spots are taken. However note that some residents and non-residents park for weeks at a time without moving their cars and are not ticketed when the NYPD are alerted to the situation. I believe a car can remain 24 hours in the same spot (without a sign) before having to move to another spot without receiving a ticket. This is frequently abused and causes residents pain, which causes people to slash tires despite it being a crime.

Where the hell did you come up with this bit of nonsense?
That's actually the law. But I believe it is within 48 hours. Not that it's enforced much.
Cops are too busy doing ridiculous things like fighting the "war on drugs" in which they are losing miserably.
They are quite busy nowdays. Crime is creeping up and there are between 5,000 and 10,000 less cops on the street than there were ten years ago. On top of that, a large portion are assigned duties off the streets, and at least one car and two cops per shift are still being sent to Manhattan daily for the counter terrorism drills.
Fucking worthless cops. If a cop had lived on that street the problem would have been taken care of much more quickly.

Yet another internet tough guy. If you lived on that block, I doubt you would have known what was going on from your mommy's basement.

lmao you don't know me. You probably have never been in a fight. You for sure don't know what it feels like to knock someone out. You want to talk shit give me your address.
Deport this malignancy to Saudi Arabia along with the Afghan asshole a couple of stories back.

Please cite your source. I'm begging you. I dare you.
My source is the community affairs officer of my local precinct.
It may still be on the books as 24 hr storage......nyc traffic regs.

Bull. Hearsay is not a source. And, if he told you that, he's as full of shit as you are. There is no such parking code. I'm a police officer myself and have never heard any such thing. There is no such code to write on a ticket. I have gone away for 10 days and not thought twice about leaving my car on the street for the entire time.
Below is a guide to parking tickets (along with defenses and evidence to challenge them). You'll notice there is no such malarky as not leaving a car in the same spot for more than 48 hours.

The DMV code also says after 96 hours of not moving it, your car can be towed.
You can have a car with plates towed in the amount of time you leave your car for 10 days. Maybe yours had a placard or some other identifier on it, but I have had cars parked for long periods towed after a simple phone call.

A police officer that doesn't know what hearsay is. Why am I not surprised?

Wow, talk about talking shit. Someone really pushed your buttons.

You insult police officers, yet you cite your source as a police officer? Doesn't say much about you.
Make the vandals pay for new tires right from their own pockets
