Social I want to be a parking lot ninja

[mixmastermo]

There is a CVS in my neighborhood and the parking lot has these signs in it



CVS is a reputable organization. There is no way they would make a threat like this unless they are able to act on it. The only way this would work is if they have a team of parking lot ninjas. I mean how else would they able to tell if someone walked off their lot and went to another store unless there is a ninja hiding somewhere with an arsenal of boots watching everything and ready to pounce on offenders?

Since these ninjas are so secretive, I have never actually seen them. SO I turn to the infinite wisdom of Sherdog

How do I go about getting into this group?
Can I do this as a side hustle to my current full time job, or does this require my full dedication?
How long does it take to train in these parking lot ninja arts? Is there still time for me to get started?

Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

No clue. I imagine a bored store manager will be watching the cameras. I've also seen tow truck drivers camp in parking lots where people like to illegally park for easy hooks.

Go park your car there and pretend to walk off. If you see a tow truck, run back to your car before they can hook it

Reminds me of this channel, was fun to watch sometimes. After COVID they stopped uploading.

Here's where I put various videos that make me smile. Hopefully you'll smile as well. Sometimes it's tow trucks, sometimes it's something completely random. That's how it goes on the GTOger channel. BTW: It's pronounced "G. T. Oger". Not G-todger. Not Gee-toger. Gee Tee Oger.

Here’s a better idea: Fund more public transit so we don’t have to waste so much space on parking lots.

That's the point though, isn't it?

Nah I'm good. We pay enough taxes as it is.

You also pay for parking. And gas. I’m sure you’ve bitched about gas prices in the past 3 years.

I've had this happen to me years ago in Chicago (Belmont and Clark). There was a parking lot reserved for customers of several businesses. If you went anywhere else you could be booted (there were clear warning signs posted).

I thought I could get away with a quick transaction at a restricted store but when I got back to my car like literally 5 minutes later it was booted. And the guy confronted me and was a total dick about it too. I had to wait about 25-30 min to have it removed and paid around $90.

There is basically a guy who stalks the parking lot and will follow you to see exactly where you go. I recalled him staring at me from outside the store while I was checking out but thought nothing of it. I would later realize he was parking lot enforcement.

They probably have hidden cameras everywhere to see if you walk off the lot.

One Walmart here has the parking lot absolutely full of construction worker pickup trucks and they don't even pretend they're Walmart shoppers. You're lucky if you can find one empty stall. Every afternoon around 330pm, you see tons of them going to their trucks after work, some hanging around shooting the shit with each other. Most likely they work at the construction site a block or so away.

Either their employer has some deal with Walmart to let them park there or they just use it as their own free employee parking because it would be difficult to tow them I'm guessing.

Years ago I used to see this one dentist basically using mall parking as his own work parking where his office was across the street.

It might be predatory towing working with your CVS.

Sucks that happened to you but if you do the crime you gotta do the time. That guy doesn't sound like a ninja TBH.

That being said I have not seen such people at this parking lot. There are wooden fences, bushes, trees, etc. surrounding the parking lot. I'm thinking the ninjas are hiding in and around that stuff. Their camouflage must be really really good!

Is there a sign identifying the towing company and the address it will be towed to?

If not and that happened, I'd report it stolen.

There is a landscaping company next to my gym, this fucker parks his trucks fucking everywhere but gets super pissed if a parent that takes their kid to our kids class parks their car in front of his building because his trucks are taking up two spots or what have you in the shared parking lot.

He's come into the gym multiple times threatening to have cars towed, until one time I reminded him that it is a shared parking lot and there are no signs indicating the towing company or the place it would be towed to and that I would report any car removed stolen and name him as the suspect.

If you saw him that means he wouldn't be a ninja.

Blocking in, clamping or otherwise immobilising, or towing vehicles by private parties on private land was banned in Scotland in 1992 and in England and Wales in 2012. It's still legal in Northern Ireland though. In fact a member of the Northern Irish assembly was fined for cutting off a wheel clamp in 2018.

It should be banned everywhere imo, it pushes the scales too far over to the side of the landowner. There was all kinds of predatory behaviour going on like people parking, going around the corner to ask directions, coming back two minutes later and their car was clamped; decoy cars parked to lure you into parking there, and getting clamped; vehicles being clamped or towed with people in them; clamp/tow staff intimidating people and demanding excessive, cash payments which escalated over time; vehicles getting clamped or towed with no grace period, ie if you are allowed to park for one hour the clamp goes on at 1:00:01 (the law gives you ten minutes now) etc.
