    (Pretending this is real) Is this even a good deal? $15 each time. Maybe 1% chance for a break in. You end up paying on average $1500 to stop a break in.

      Presumably it’s more of an excuse to give the dude $15 than a real expectation of service.

        Its amazing that people don’t understand that its supposed to be all about the homeless man and zero percent about the car. The fact that she got coincidental services out of her charity is the funny part.

      Depending on the cost of parking, it might still be a winner. Every time I park near where someone homeless is posted up I offer them whatever coins I have on me to give me a shout or a call if they see a parking warden before I come back. Cheaper than parking, and it helps local people instead of fucking Wilson’s.

      Simple! Just keep $2,000 cash in your glove compartment at all times. You’ve now saved $500, congratulations!

      I did this same thing when I was in Austin. When the cost of a decent drink at the bar you’re going to is the same price, it’s not too much to pay for carsitying services. But tbh I paid him half out of charity and half because I can’t be sure he would slash my tires for NOT giving him the money. He knows where my car is and knows I’m going to be away for a while. Better safe than sorry.
